How do you get your IF statement model calculation to work correctly?

Can you show me the actual structure of your Table1? What you show in your first screen capture looks like a matrix visual. If so, what fields are you using in that visual?
If I understand correctly what you are showing, try this:
MeetTargetGrossMargin? = IF ( [Margin %_purch] > CALCULATE ( VALUES ( Table2[Gross Margin] ), FILTER ( Table2, Table2[Cost From] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( Table1[PRICE] ) && Table2[Cost To] >= SELECTEDVALUE ( Table1[PRICE] ) ) ), "Yes", "No" ) - 7 years ago

I see there are quite a few issues. You marked it as solved but it's not working at all :smileyvery-happy: :smileyvery-happy:
1. First of all, the code I provided earlier was meant to be a measure, since you were showing a visual and were already using another measure to calculate the margin
2. I do not understand how the margin is calculated for each item. The code for your measure is:
Margin %_purch = DIVIDE(SUM(PurchaseOrderTrans[PRICE]) - SUM(PurchaseOrderTrans[Item Cost]); SUM(PurchaseOrderTrans[PRICE]))
I'm at a loss there, given the set-up you have in your visual. What are you trying to do? How would be the margin calculated conceptually? Why the SUM( )s?? Why does it have to be a measure?
3. I would just keep the calculation of the margin as a calculated column in your table, i.e. calculated per row in your table (don't know if that's the requirement):
MarginAsCOLUMN = DIVIDE ( PurchaseOrderTrans[PRICE] - PurchaseOrderTrans[Item Cost]; PurchaseOrderTrans[PRICE] )4. And then another column in your table for the check:
MeetTargetGrossMargin? = IF ( PurchaseOrderTrans[MarginAsCOLUMN] > CALCULATE ( VALUES ( 'Cost Gross Margin%'[Gross Margin] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Cost Gross Margin%' ), 'Cost Gross Margin%'[Cost From] <= Table1[PRICE] && 'Cost Gross Margin%'[Cost To] >= Table1[PRICE] ) ), "Yes", "No" )
AlB thank you for your response.
Table 1 is an actual table. The [Margin %_purch] measure is pulling information from Table 1.
The goal with using "SELECTEDVALUE('Cost Gross Margin%'[Gross Margin])" is to have [Margin %_purch] measure compare against [Gross Margin]. Yes you are correct, compare the gross margin for that price + provide an output that will confirm "Yes" or "No".
[Margin %_purch] = Measure
[Gross Margin] = Calculated Column
My initial measure for gross margin did not work because I was getting an error message that would say "a table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected". Below was my initial measure which I was trying to implement.
Gross Margin =
IF( [Margin %_purch] > FILTER('Cost Gross Margin%'[Gross Margin]), "Yes", "No")
What are your thoughts? Am I on the right track? How can I get this to calculate correctly to product a true output of YES or NO which will holds true?

AlB ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I have literally been working on this DAX syntax for 3 days and you were able to cook this up so fast! How on earth did you do that?
So much gratitude for you! THANK YOU!

:smileyhappy: You're very welcome
SELECTEDVALUE( Table1[Column]) gives you the filtered value in the Column if it's only one. If there are multiple values, it will return a blank. You were using:
SELECTEDVALUE('Cost Gross Margin%'[Gross Margin])
Since you had no filter on 'Cost Gross Margin%'[Gross Margin], that SELECTEDVALUE() would always return a blank, which functions pretty much as a zero in comparisons with numbers. That's why you got the "No" only with non-positive values of [Margin %_purch]

AlB Thank you for the explanation. It is slowly starting to make sense.
Question for you. After doing some QA on the results, I discovered that all of the YES outputs held true but the NO outputs was not as accurate. There are items which had the [Margin %_purch] >= [Gross Margin]. The anticipated output of these items would be YES but actual output was NO.
I tried to play around with the DAX syntax but was not able to get the final output to be accurate. Any ideas or guidance you can provide? The syntax you provided was followed.
Below is a screenshot of the sample output results that are not holding true.
In a previous post, you requested to see the data table in which I am pulling the [Item Cost] and [PRICE]. Please see sample data below.
Also as a reference, below is a screenshot of the [Gross Margin]
