If one column is blank select another column

[JemB123]

HI, 

I am trying to work out the formula for this: if purchasing[Actual ship date] is blank select Purchasing[Confirmed ship date]. 

ie. PO number 26049 - Actual ship date = Blank, Confirmed ship date = 16/02/2024

Po number 28502 - Actual ship date = 19/04/2024 , Confirmed ship date = 13/04/2024

I want it to select actual ship date unless it is blank then confirmed ship date. 

Thank you !

Hi, @JemB123 

Based on your description, I have created many measures to achieve the effect you are looking for. Following picture shows the effect of the display.

Measure:

TureDate =

IF (

    ISBLANK ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Purchasing'[ Actual ship date] ) ),

    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Purchasing'[Confirmed ship date] ),

    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Purchasing'[ Actual ship date] )

)

If this does not work, could you please share some sample data without sensitive information and expected output.

Hi,

Write this calculated column formula

Actual date = if(isblank(purchasing[Actual ship date]),purchasing[Confirmed ship date],purchasing[Actual ship date])

Hello,

Please try the following DAX:

If ( ISBLANK(Selectedvalue([Actual Ship date])),Selectedvale([Confirmed ship date]),Selectedvalue([Actual Ship date]))
