I have table of meetings and points for each type of a meeting.
I need to replace values for meetings if value is 1 and based on a type of a meeting.
If value is different than 1, it should return that value.
I tried to build a measure:
Points =
IF ('Meetings'[type] = "Training" && MAX(Meetings[Points]) = 1; 3;
IF ('Meetings'[type] = "New" && MAX(Meetings[Points]) = 1; 5;
IF ('Meetings'[type] = "Tech" && MAX(Meetings[Points]) = 1; 6;
Meetings[Points])))
I got error message:
A single value for column 'Points' in table 'Meetings' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result.
I then tried to filter the result
Points =
FILTER(Meetings;
IF ('Meetings'[type] = "Training" && MAX(Meetings[Points]) = 1; 3;
IF ('Meetings'[type] = "New" && MAX(Meetings[Points]) = 1; 5;
IF ('Meetings'[type] = "Tech" && MAX(Meetings[Points]) = 1; 6;
Meetings[Points])))
)
and get an error:
The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value.
Any help would be highly appreaciated
Solved! Go to Solution.
@CAPSTALKER are you adding new measure or column, it has to be a column

@CAPSTALKER add following expression as a column
Points = SWITCH( TRUE(), 'Meetings'[type] = "Training" && Meetings[Points] = 1; 3; 'Meetings'[type] = "New" && Meetings[Points] = 1; 5; 'Meetings'[type] = "Tech" && Meetings[Points] = 1; 6; Meetings[Points] )
