If function returning wrong value

‎02-09-2022 08:38 PM

Hi,

 

I have below if function where CY is equals to 12/31/2021 it should return Last Year. However formula returns 0. Anyone can help with what's causing this error?

 

Measure = if(('Tier'[CY])=DATE ( YEAR ( SELECTEDVALUE ('Tier'[CY]))-1, 12, 31 ),"Last Year",0)

Hi @dokat ,

 

Try the calculated column

Column = IF([CY]=DATE(2021,12,31),"Last Year","0")

Calculated columns and measures are different, please note.

What is the difference between Power BI calculated columns and measures? - TrueCue.

Hi @dokat 

 

Can you try:  

 

Measure = IF ( Table[Column] = DATE ( 2021, 12, 31 ) , 1 , 0 )

 

Hope it helps.

Theo

@TheoC Unfortunately it didnt work. And i'd like to make the lookup value to be dynamic rather than hard coded as it will change over time. '

 

Where formula equals to = 'Tier'{CY] (12/31/2021) Thanks
