'RELATED' function in an IF Statement

Hi everyone,

<Message deleted>

Thanks for any help!

  • Hi DevadathanK ,

     

    IN operator in Power BI returns either TRUE/FALSE value. So, I don't think it is used correctly here.

     

    Try modifying your DAX as follows:

    Working Hours = IF(

                                     'Main'[Location] == RELATED(Indianlocations[Location]), 9, 

                                      IF('Main'[Location] == RELATED(Otherlocations[Location]), 8, 0)

                                   )

     

    In case you want to use IN operator, try following DAX:

    Working Hours = IF(

                                     'Main'[Location] IN RELATED(Indianlocations[Location]) = TRUE(), 9, 

                                      IF('Main'[Location] IN RELATED(Otherlocations[Location]) = TRUE(), 8, 0)

                                   )

     

    If this helps and resolves the issue, appreciate a Kudos and mark it as a Solution! 🙂

     

    Thanks,

    The problem is you can only use table expression after IN, 

    Try replace RELATED() with RELATEDTABLE() or VALUES():

     

    Working Hours = IF('Main'[Location]IN RELATEDTABLE(Indianlocations),9, IF('Main'[Location] IN RELATEDTABLE(Otherlocations),8,0))
    Working Hours = IF('Main'[Location]IN VALUES(Indianlocations[Location]),9,IF('Main'[Location] IN VALUES(Otherlocations[Location),8,0)))))

      Hi

       

      It's a Column and i tired out your suggestion of replacing the 'IN' with '='. It works perfectly now.

       

      Thank you so much!

      Hello Pragati11 

       

      Thank you for helping me out 🙂 I tried out both of your suggestions and replacing 'IN' with '==' works perfectly. However, whilst trying out the 2nd method (using True() ) i faced an error.

      Hi Anonymous 

       

      I see. Thank you for helping me out 🙂

       

      I tried out both of your suggestions and i got it to work by using VALUES(), but i faced another error whilst using RELATEDTABLE().

    Hmm, that's odd, do you actually have relationships defined to those other tables?
