New table on a data model: Create a measure formula that changes depending on a column string value
I created a table on power BI that takes data from other tables which has the fields:
KPI (Column) | Value (Measure)
Revenues | CALCULATE(SUM('F_Table'[Value]); 'F_Table'[Scenario] IN { "Actual" }; M_Account[Level 7]="Revenues")
Imagine that I want to put a measure that, depending on the KPI string value (Revenues, Margin.etc), the formula changes. Something like this:
IF ( [New_Table] KPI="Revenues"; CALCULATE(SUM('F_Table'[Value]); 'F_Table'[Scenario] IN { "Actual" }; M_Account[Level 7]="Revenues")
I don't know why... but if do it as a measure, it does not find my column to put it on the formula. Somebody could know why and if there is a way to do this? (a table that has a column that depending on the value of a field, makes a calculate or another)
Thank you.
You may add MAX fuction like below:
Measure = IF ( MAX ( 'New_Table'[KPI] ) = "Revenues", CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'F_Table'[Value] ), 'F_Table'[Scenario] IN { "Actual" }, M_Account[Level 7] = "Revenues" ) )Regards,
