Hello!
I've looked around but not finding a solution that works for my situation.
I am trying to add a row into a matrix that has a static value for a specific column. Below is the current statement I have created; however, I am getting an error on the 'Awards'[Sender's Sr Business Unit] section, and not sure what I need to do.
| Sr Business Unit | Total Emp Count |
| A | [count] |
| B | [count] |
| C | [count] |
| xSystem Generated | 1 |
Solved! Go to Solution.
Add selectedvalue()
IF( selectedvalue('Awards'[Sender's Sr Business Unit] ) = "xSystem Generated",
Well that did help get it to stop erroring; however, I'm still having an issue getting to actually add that row to my matrix.
Edit: I might have figured it out. Hopefully 🙂
Completely agree with @Deku. You are getting the error because currently you are referencing the entire column of values of the 'Awards'[Sender's Sr Business) Unit] column. Adding SelectedValue() around the column gives you a single value to evaluate in the statement within the filter context. This has happened to me so many times 🙂
Add selectedvalue()
IF( selectedvalue('Awards'[Sender's Sr Business Unit] ) = "xSystem Generated",
Just a Parenthses in the wrong spot. It should read like this
IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Awards'[Sender's Sr Business Unit]) = "xSystem Generated", SysGen, EmpCount - [Total Mgr Count] )
The = "xSystemGenerate" should be outside of the selectedvalue brackets
