How to make a DAX "flag" column that holds 'Yes' when other columns hold 'Yes'

I am trying to replicate the below Tableau column in PowerBI DAX:

That column will equal 'Yes' if any of the designated columns hold 'Yes' for each applicant.

 

I'm struggling to replicate this in PBI. My current code is not returned the expected results:

Can anyone help?

You can use 

Grade Discount =

var ConditionCount = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Attainment Offer?])="Yes",1)+IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Sports Scholar?])="Yes",1)+IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[A2B])="Yes",1,0)
return IF(ConditionCount>=1,1,0)

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this has increased the difference between the PBI and Tableau. See below:

@Anonymous ,

The logic in Tableau is that if exactly one of the conditions is "YES", then the final result is also "YES". Otherwise it should be "NO".

Your code above does exactly the same, so the result should be correct without adding any changes.

Do you still see differences between Tableau and PBI? If you can create a sample dataset, it will be easier to verify.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

The Tableu code returns is if ONLY ONE of the conditions is YES. If it turns out that there are more YES, the code returns "No".

 

To make your code check if any factor is equal to "YES", please change the condition to:

RETURN
IF (ConditionCount >= 1, "YES", "NO")
