MULTIPLE IF CONDITIONS

Hello,

 

Can anyone help me with the DAX for this?

 

 

1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Hi @karkar,

In excel, we calculate based on cell, while in Power BI, we calculate the value based on column. The difference for DAX and excel function is: there are only logical conditions in AND in DAX. In excel, you can more than two conditions in AND like: AND(logical1, [logical2], ...). I create it in excel and get expected result.

In excel, AND(A8= "Not Hispanic or Latino Origin",B8<>"Unavailable",B8<>"Declined") is equals to AND(A8= "Not Hispanic or Latino Origin",AND(B8<>"Unavailable",B8<>"Declined"))

The results of using AND and OR in the red part are different. I confused it before, so I edit my last reply. Thanks for understanding. Now I test it in BI and Excel.  

=IF(OR(A8="Hispanic or Latino Origin Unknown",A8="Declined - patient is unwilling to respond"),"Unknown",IF(A8="Hispanic or Latino Origin", "Hispanic",IF(AND(A8= "Not Hispanic or Latino Origin",B8<>"Unavailable",B8<>"Declined"),B8,"Unknown")))

=IF(OR(A8="Hispanic or Latino Origin Unknown",A8="Declined - patient is unwilling to respond"),"Unknown",IF(A8="Hispanic or Latino Origin", "Hispanic",IF(AND(A8= "Not Hispanic or Latino Origin",OR(B8<>"Unavailable",B8<>"Declined")),B8,"Unknown")))

Hi,

 

From your explanation I didn't understand what you want to receive in the end. Could you please provide more details.

 

Please try to use formula below:

 

Devired race_test = IF(OR(ETHNICITY = "Hispanic or Latino Origin Unknown","Declined - patient is unwilling to respond"), "Unknown",IF(ETHNICITY = "Hispanic or Latino Origin", "Hispanic",IF(AND(ETHNICITY = "Not Hispanic or Latino Origin", RACE <> "Unavailable"), RACE, "Unknown")))

Hello bsas,

 

Thansk for the help.This has gotten me very close to what i need.

I have added one more row  and how do i add Declined to the existing formulea????

@karkar

 

Devired race_test = IF(OR(ETHNICITY = "Hispanic or Latino Origin Unknown","Declined - patient is unwilling to respond"), "Unknown",IF(ETHNICITY = "Hispanic or Latino Origin", "Hispanic",IF(AND(ETHNICITY = "Not Hispanic or Latino Origin", OR(RACE <> "Unavailable", RACE <> "Declined")), RACE, "Unknown")))

Hi @karkar,

Please create a calculated column using the formula.

DERIVED RACE =
IF (
    OR (
        Table1[ETHNICITY] = "Hispanic or Latino Origin Unknown",
        Table1[ETHNICITY] = "Declined - patient is unwilling to respond"
    ),
    "Unknown",
    IF (
        Table1[ETHNICITY] = "Hispanic or Latino Origin",
        "Hispanic",
        IF (
            AND (
                Table1[ETHNICITY] = "Not Hispanic or Latino Origin",
                AND ( Table1[RACE] <> "Unavailable", Table1[RACE] <> "Declined" )
            ),
            Table1[RACE],
            "Unknown"
        )
    )
)


You will get expected result shown in the following screenshot.

Hi @karkar,


As I tested,  when you use the OR in red part. The result both of the two rows("Unavailable" and "Declined" rows) is equals to result of any of the rows.

The result is different from using AND.

Thanks Angelia,

 

I tested first in Excel and the Unavialble and Declined are not being converted to UNKNOWN for "Not Hispanic or Latino Origin".

Do you think we have to do anything different in Excel?

 

Thank you
