IF Measure resulting in Yes/No Calculated Column

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a measure with an IF filter resulting in a Yes/No column but keep coming up to problems. 

 

I have two columns where if the value in Column 1 is greater than the value in Column 2 it will result in a Yes answer so that I can include it in a Slicer visual.

 

So far the measure I have is:

 

Measure 1 = IF('Table),[Column1]>[Column 2])"Yes","No"

 

but that comes up with errors even with every type of punctuation variation. 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

To create a if measure, you need to add a aggregation function for the columns (sum, max or min).

Measure = IF(SUM('Table'[Column1])>SUM('Table'[Column2]),"YES","NO")

Try this

Measure 1 = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Column1])>SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Column 2]),"Yes","No")

 

Many thanks for responding @VikramBasriyar

The measure is correct (in that there are no errors) but all results still come up as No even though I know that some should be Yes.
