Hi,
I am hoping someone can help.
I Want to create a Switch column. I have this formula:
DayRange =
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
Table[Date] <> BLANK ()
&& Table[Date1] <> BLANK(), "Other",
Table[Date] <> BLANK ()
&& [NoOfDays] > 365, "> 12 Months",
Table[Date] <> BLANK ()
&& [NoOfDays] > 274, "> 9 Months",
Table[Date] <> BLANK ()
&& [NoOfDays] > 183, "> 6 Months",
Table[Date] <> BLANK ()
&& [NoOfDays] > 91, "> 3 Months",
Table[Date] <> BLANK ()
&& [NoOfDays] <= 91, "< 3 Months",
" N/A"
)
I am getting this error: Function 'CALCULATE' is not allowed as part of calculated column DAX expressions on DirectQuery models.
I have tried using SWITCH as a measure, but it only shows one citatory. Can anyone get this to work?
Thanks in advance,
Boycie92
Hi @Boycie92,
Maybe you can try to use below formula:
DayRange =
IF (
Table[Date] = BLANK (),
" N/A",
IF (
[NoOfDays] > 365,
"> 12 Months",
IF (
[NoOfDays] > 274,
"> 9 Months",
IF (
[NoOfDays] > 183,
"> 6 Months",
IF (
[NoOfDays] > 91,
"> 3 Months",
IF ( [NoOfDays] <= 91, "< 3 Months", IF ( Table[Date1] <> BLANK (), "Other" ) )
)
)
)
)
)

Hi @Anonymous
thanks for the help.
when I use the formula in a column I still get the CALCULATE error.
when I use it as a measure its says "A single value for column 'TableDate' in table 'Table' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result."
Any idea why?
Thanks
