IF formula with multiple conditions
Hi, I would like to create a DAX formula with a IF statement. my formula would be : IF('DATA'[Work Stream ] ="WS 1.1";SUM('DATA'[KPI 2 Monthly Actual]); IF('DATA'[Work Stream ] ="WS 2.1";...
a lady from the MS support gave me a solution that seems ok :

Hi Augustin,
Here are the measures that you will need:
- SelectedValue = IF (ISFILTERED ( Example[Indicator1] ) && HASONEVALUE ( Example[Indicator1] );LASTNONBLANK ( Example[Indicator1]; 0 );"a default value");
- SumValues = SUM(Example[Values]);
- VarKPI2MonthlyTGTR = IF([SelectedValue]="WS"; AVERAGE(Example[Values]); [SumValues]);
In will need to substitute what is in orange with your dimensions.
And here are some interesting documentation:

Since you are aggregating, wouldn't you want to create it as a measure? Then you have a visual with [Workstream] as an axis or rows and you place the measure in as values
Maybe I don't understand enough the difference between a Measure and a Calc Column.
But my question is :
-how to make that sum & average work IN the current filter context ?
if a measure can solve that, then I will do a measure.
thanks
