Make new column basedexisting column values
Hello,
I want to make a new column with the values based of a existing column. At the moment I have the following columns:
1. 'TypeWorkTime' with two values: planning and realtime
2. 'Time'
So I want to make 2 new columns called planning and worktime with the values of Time, I have tried the following DAX formula but I am doing something wrong.
Planning = 'Trello cards'[Time] ; 'Trello cards'[TypeWorkTime] = "Planning"
Thanks,
Shabby
I'm not really sure what you are trying to do here. If you want to create a new calculated column that only returns the time if the type is "planning" then you would write it like this
Planning = IF( 'Trello cards'[TypeWorkTime] = "Planning" ; 'Trello cards'[Time] )
However, if the point of this column is just to ba able to sum up the planning time then you don't need a new column you can do all that in a measure.
eg.
Planning = CALCULATE( SUM( 'Trello cards'[Time] ) ; 'Trello cards'[TypeWorkTime] = "Planning" )
