Learning DAX Calculated Column versus Measure
Can someone explain how I could get this measure to work? I can easily create a calculated column with the correct values but I can't create a Measure. I'm guessing I don't have the correct expression.
MEASURE: (Does not work - every values comes in as "Project Manager")
Project Role = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('PowerSteering_Projects-PBI_-_Metric_Collection_ROI'[EE Role]) = "Black Belt", "Black Belt", IF(SELECTEDVALUE('PowerSteering_Projects-PBI_-_Metric_Collection_ROI'[EE Role]) = "Green Belt", "Green Belt","Project Manager"))
CALCULATED COLUMN: (This works, and I can see the values for each row in the table.)
Project Role1 = IF('PowerSteering_Projects-PBI_-_Metric_Collection_ROI'[EE Role] = "Black Belt","Black Belt",IF('PowerSteering_Projects-PBI_-_Metric_Collection_ROI'[EE Role] = "Green Belt", "Green Belt","Project Manager"))
The column in the Table is called EE Role.
Basically:
IF EE Role = Black Belt, then Black Belt
IF EE Role = Green Belt, then Green Belt
ELSE = Project Manager
IF EE Role = Black Belt, then Black Belt
IF EE Role = Green Belt, then Green Belt
ELSE = Project Manager
Hi AWentzEco ,
Your formula seems good. We should put a measure in a visual where there are many contexts. It should be like below in your example.
[EE Role] [Measure]

Thanks. I did that and now both the Measure and Calculated column are coming up with the correct values (both are the same). Perhaps it was a 'Friday' issue. :smileyvery-happy:
