Increment value as long as switch condition is met

As the title implies I would like to have a counter which adds + 1 everytime a switch condition is met. 

 

I created a query but it doesn't seem to add into the variable x.

 

Query used: 

counter =
var x = 0
RETURN
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
'Scorecard 2'[Email CSAT] >= .85, x + 1,
'Scorecard 2'[Email AHT] <= 150, x + 1,
'Scorecard 2'[Quality] >= .9, x + 1,
0
)
 
Outcome:
 
EmployeeEmail CSATEmail AHTQualitycounter
195%20969%1
294%8887%1

 

Desired Outcome:

EmployeeEmail CSATEmail AHTQualitycounter
195%20969%1
294%8887%2
 
Anyone knows where I went wrong with my query, any help would be appreciated.

Hi @msantillan ,

 

The logical relationship is not correct. SWITCH() will judge in order, and if the first one is satisfied, it will output the result directly and will not continue to judge.


It should be a recursive relationship. Try the following formula.

counter =
VAR x = 0
VAR _1 =
    IF ( [Email CSAT] >= .85, x + 1 )
VAR _2 =
    IF ( [Email AHT] <= 150, _1 + 1, _1 )
RETURN
    IF ( [Quality] >= .9, _2 + 1, _2 )

 

result:

Hi,

 

You provide quite a small amount of information, so I will assume that you need a calculated column, and that [employee] is a unique integer for each employee. A calculated column could be written like this:

counter = 
VAR _currentEmployee =
    CALCULATE ( SELECTEDVALUE ( employees[Employee] ) )
RETURN
    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( employees ),
            employees[Employee] <= _currentEmployee
                && ( employees[Email CSAT] >= 0.85
                || employees[Email AHT] <= 150
                || employees[Quality] >= 0.9 )
        )
    )

 

Cheers,
Sturla
