If, else

Hello,

 

I have this 1 table that I would like to create an IF, ELSE column (or a measure) to replace the REGULAR PRICE

 

ITEMREGULAR PRICEDISCOUNTED
BANANA$5 
APPLE$10 
MANGO$20 

 

If discounted=YES, then the price column becomes $1.  If discounted=NO, then regular price.

 

Thanks.

Hello @vojtechsima ,

 

Thanks for the prompt reply.  I get an error message.  (DAX comparison operations do not support comparing values of type True?False with values of type Text.)

Hi, @Oros ,
Make sure your columns are in proper data types, when comparing string ("YES", "NO") the column has to be a text, if numeric values (1,2) it has to be Numeric. PLease check that and try running itagain

Hello @vojtechsima ,

 

I change it to text but got another error:

 

"Expressions that yield variant data-type cannot be used to define calculated columns."

 

Any idea?

 

Thanks.

Hello @Oros , 

 

Add a calculated column-

NewColumn = IF(Data[DISCOUNTED]="YES",1,Data[REGULAR PRICE])
