If condition

[Anonymous]

Hi

I am trying to make a condition: If column month>=month(now);sum(X);sum(y)

The problem is that when I make the condition I can only put measures and functions. I don't have the option to reference columns why?

Hi @Anonymous 

Basically Measurs dont work with row context so you need to use MAX or MIN, something like below.

If MAX(column month )> = MONTH( TODAY() );sum(X);sum(y)

Please read the article below for more info.

Hi @Mariusz 

I try 

Valor total = if(MAX(Doc_Factura[Mês])>=MONTH(TODAY());[Facturação Bruta];[SumValorPub])

but I keep receiving the error:

"Dax comparison operations do not support comparing values of type text with values of type integer."

Doc_Factura[Mês],month(today()), Facturação bruta; sumValorPub are integers and decimals  so I don't understand the error.

I try to make a new column with funtion value but the error was the same

IF(VALUE(MONTH(Doc_Factura[data_doc_df]))<=VALUE(MONTH(TODAY()));[Facturação Bruta];[SumValorPub])

Check your tables.  Make sure that PBI recognizes that Doc_Factura[Mes] is an integer value and not a string.

Otherwise, using VALUE should have worked to force a type change.

I already check and it is a integer, that's why I don't understand the error..even if it wasn't the value function should change the type to integer.

It should, which is why we get to debug this to figure out what's happening.

I know it's obnoxious, but can you make a few new measures, to show what value is being returned at each step?

Test1 = MAX(Doc_Factura[Mês])

Test2 = MONTH(TODAY())

Test3 = [Test1]>=[Test2]

Test4 = [Facturação Bruta]

Test5 = [ValorSumPub]

Hopefully when you put these into a table, all the results make sense, but if there's one that doesn't work properly, we can focus in on that one.  As of right now, I have no idea where your problem is. It all looks like it should work.
