Hi,
I have the following code in a Calculated Column that I can't get to work. I would like to exclude anything created before 1st Apr 2021 and Resolved before applying the IF statement.
Days to Validation Bins =
IF(AND('Cases'[Created On] < "01/04/2021", 'Cases'[statecode] = "Resolved"),BLANK(),
IF(ISBLANK('Cases'[Days to Validation]),BLANK(),
IF( 'Cases'[Days to Validation] < 30 , " 0-1 Mth",
IF('Cases'[Days to Validation] < 60, " 1-2 Mths",
IF('Cases'[Days to Validation] < 90, " 2-3 Mths",
"Older")))))The error message I get is:
Any ideas how to fix this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @ArchStanton ,
You can try the following dax.
Complexity Bins =
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
ISBLANK ( [Validation to Closure] ), BLANK (),
[Validation to Closure] < 91.3,
REPT ( UNICHAR ( 8203 ), 1 ) & "" & " 0-3 Mths",
[Validation to Closure] < 182.5,
REPT ( UNICHAR ( 8203 ), 2 ) & "" & " 3-6 Mths",
[Validation to Closure] < 273.5,
REPT ( UNICHAR ( 8203 ), 3 ) & "" & " 6-9 Mths",

Thank you, this works perfectly!
Hello @ArchStanton, it seems there is a type error. In the first line, you are comparing a date type with a string type. Try using:
DATEVALUE("01/04/2021")
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/datevalue-function-dax
Additionally, using a SWITCH statement would make it much more readable. You can learn about the SWITCH function in DAX
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/switch-function-dax
hope it helped ☕
Thanks for your help, DATEVALUE worked perfectly!
I've been wondering how to incorporate SWITCH into some of my DAX but I dont think it will always be possible e.g, how would I use it here:
Days to Validation Bins =
IF(AND('Cases'[Created On] < DATEVALUE("01/04/2021"), 'Cases'[statecode] = "Resolved" || "2"),BLANK(),
IF(ISBLANK('Cases'[Days to Validation]),BLANK(),
IF( 'Cases'[Days to Validation] < 30 , " 0-1 Mth",
IF('Cases'[Days to Validation] < 60, " 1-2 Mths",
IF('Cases'[Days to Validation] < 90, " 2-3 Mths",
"Older")))))
Or here: where I have 'sorted' them 1 to 13 for Visual formatting purposes?
Thanks
