Help with VAR statement (result)
jj
I am trying to add another option to my "return" statement below. I have the answer for if the first VAR statement is true...now I need show what the result be if the second VAR statement is true. How can add in what that formulae should be into my Return?
CNENFRNL Anonymous Ashish_Mathur Samarth_18 Thanks all for your help. In the end, I was able to get it to work with this which was a lot simpler than I thought.
Net Revenue (not including current month) =IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Net Revenue Table'[Reconciled?]) = "Yes",[Sum of Net Revenue],IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Net Revenue Table'[Reconciled?]) = "No","Pending",""))

Either _Reconciled or _NotReconciled is NOT logical expression, but table expression. It returns a table, which evaluates to BLANK() or with rows. You can use ISEMPTY(_Reconciled) / ISEMPTY(_NotReconciled) in your subsequent steps.
this is pseudocoded so you will need to put things together yourself based on naming conventions in your dataset; but I would recommend using an if statement.
RETURN
IF(_Reconciled = "Yes", Calculate([Sum of Net Revenue, _Reconciled), "Different Measure you need to use")This statement makes the assumption that you are either Yes/No for reconciled, and there are no alternative options. If there are further options you would need to add a subsequent nested IF statement.
Hi Anonymous ,
If I took your question correctly then you can try below options:-
1. If you wanted to sum both the result then you can try this:-
Total Estimated Forecast = VAR _Reconciled = FILTER('Net Revenue Table','Net Revenue Table'[Reconciled?] = "Yes") VAR _NotReconciled = FILTER('Net Revenue Table','Net Revenue Table'[Reconciled?] = "No") Return CALCULATE([Sum of Net Revenue],_Reconciled) + CALCULATE([Sum of Net Revenue],_NotReconciled)2. If you want to show both the result on cards then you can try like:-
Total Estimated Forecast = VAR _Reconciled = FILTER ( 'Net Revenue Table', 'Net Revenue Table'[Reconciled?] = "Yes" ) VAR _NotReconciled = FILTER ( 'Net Revenue Table', 'Net Revenue Table'[Reconciled?] = "No" ) RETURN "For Reconciled YES " & CALCULATE ( [Sum of Net Revenue], _Reconciled ) & " " & "For Reconciled YES " & CALCULATE ( [Sum of Net Revenue], _NotReconciled )Or please share the expected output with examples.
Thanks,

Samarth_18 Hi Samarth - I am not looking to sum them together, but rather give a result depending on which VAR is true. If the _reconciled is true it needs to return the sum of net revenue. If it is not true (i.e. if _notreconciled is true, then I have a different measure I need to use.
Hi,
Does this measure work
Measure = CALCULATE([Sum of Net Revenue],'Net Revenue Table'[Reconciled?] = "Yes") + CALCULATE([Your Other measure,'Net Revenue Table'[Reconciled?] = "No")
