Hi All,
I have what seems to be a very simple formula that doesn't seem to be working.
All I want to do is return the workstream DRI Email where the workstream DRI Email = USERPRINCIPLENAME(),
If the USERPRINCIPLENAME() is not in the workstream DRI Email check if it's in the Hiring Manager Email if it is return the Hiring Manager Email else "Not a manager or DRI".
The issue I'm having is the formula is returning results for both if conditions, I only want it to retun the Hiring Manager Email if the first IF condition isn't met
Please see the formula below:
Var User_ = USERPRINCIPALNAME()
RETURN
IF(
SELECTEDVALUE(Data[Workstream DRI Email]) = User_,
SELECTEDVALUE(Data[Workstream DRI Email]),
IF(
SELECTEDVALUE(Data[Hiring Manager Email]) = User_ &&
SELECTEDVALUE(Data[Workstream DRI Email]) <> User_,
SELECTEDVALUE(Data[Hiring Manager Email]),
"Not a manager or DRI"
)
)
@mlsx4 ,
It looks like the issue lies with the use of SELECTEDVALUE and the fact that I use this measure in a filter for a visualisation.
The filter for the visualisation is filter out data where the measure does not return "Not a manager or DRI"
But have you tried if the condition is ever met? I mean, with a silly example:
Var User_ = USERPRINCIPALNAME()
RETURN
IF(
SELECTEDVALUE(Data[Workstream DRI Email]) = User_,
1,
0
)
@mlsx4 , yes I have. I just can't figure out why it returns data for both IF statements
Hi @obriaincian
Var User_ = USERPRINCIPALNAME()
RETURN
IF(
SELECTEDVALUE(Data[Workstream DRI Email]) = User_,
SELECTEDVALUE(Data[Workstream DRI Email]),
IF(
SELECTEDVALUE(Data[Hiring Manager Email]) = User_ &&,
SELECTEDVALUE(Data[Hiring Manager Email]),
"Not a manager or DRI"
)
)
I think you don't need the && condition. If you are in the "FALSE" part of the condition is because the first line is not met. That is Workstream DRI Email is not the same as User_
