If Condition issue

Hello Everyone,

 

I have created a if formula and i am not getting the right result.Below is my if formula

 

If_Formula = IF((By_Emp[Total_hrs]<By_Emp[Avail_Hrs]),"Missing","Correct")

 

Difference = By_Emp[Avail_Hrs]-By_Emp[Total_hrs]

 

If you see the screen shot below, difference is 0. So accordig to my IF formula it shows Missing in last column. I think it should be showing Correct in last column. Am i missing something here?

 

Need Help

    Hi skanchan,

     

    I have reproduced your issue.

     

    You are using a table visual like below, right? 

     

    See the original table, please check if the length of mantissa in a decimal is more than 2 because the table visual will emit several digits based on your setting which may mislead you.

     

    To see the correct result in table visual, click Modeling->Format->Change the number of decimal places.

     

     

    Regards,

    Well I tested the same at my end. Didn't find anything wrong with your formula.

     

     

    Maybe you can try this If_Formula = IF([Difference]>0,"Missing","Correct") or If_Formula = IF(((By_Emp[Total_hrs]-By_Emp[Avail_Hrs])<0),"Missing","Correct")

      HardikThanks for your reply.

       

      Strange that it work  at your end.

        Anonymous  Try this If_Formula = IF(((By_Emp[Total_hrs]-By_Emp[Avail_Hrs])<0),"Missing","Correct"), it should work.
