If statement on a Boolean type (Measure)

Hey everyone!

 

I have a column that has a type of TRUE and FALSE (Boolean) and I am trying to make a measure that just outputs all the true values 

 

I have a a column like so;

 

Time tracked | IsBillable 

3                        TRUE

6                        TRUE

4                        False

 

 

And I want a measure that only selects all the TRUE so I can eventually have a graph that compares Billable vs non-billable like so:

bar.PNG

 

Can anyone help me to make this measure or advice on another way to do so? So far I have come up with:

  • BillableTRUE = IF(COUNTX('TimeExport (3)'[IsBillable] = true) sum('TimeExport (3)'[TimeTracked]), 0)
 
But i get a error of:
BillableTRUE = IF(COUNTX('TimeExport (3)'[IsBillable] = true) sum('TimeExport (3)'[TimeTracked]), 0)
 
Any help is appreciated!

@alielzaa why not create stacked bar chart and put Is Billable column on Legend and Time Tracked on values, it will do it.

I see that did the job! Is there a way to change the legend labels from True and False to Billable and Non-billable?As you can.PNG

@alielzaa add a custom column in your model to get that label and use that on legend

 

Legend = 
IF ( Table[Is Billable], "Billable", "Non-Billable" )

 

Would appreciate if you give Kudos if my solution helped.

Absolute genius!

 

So what if i wanted to display the different amounts on cards? Like 285 hours billable

@alielzaa you can create a measure or put visual level filter and select value "Billable"
