Result from SWITHC not as expected

[damit23183]

Hi,

I am having issue with switch formula when creating custom columns from existing columns from same table;

SWITCH(TRUE(),

NOT(ISBLANK([Date Agreed])) && NOT(ISBLANK([Contact Date])), 1,

ISBLANK([Date Agreed]) && NOT(ISBLANK([Contact Date])), 2,

NOT(ISBLANK([Date Agreed])) && [Status Name] = "Accepted", 3,

ISBLANK([Date Agreed]) && [Status Name] = "Accepted", 4,

NOT(ISBLANK([Date Agreed])), 5,

ISBLANK([Date Agreed]), 6

)

Based on the above formula, i am only able to get 1,2,5,6 in output but i saw full table and found that

there are records available in table which satisfy 3 & 4 condition. Thereofre, i should see all values form 1 to 6 in

this custom column which i am creating.

NOTE: All of these conditonal columns are from same table. Here i am trying to create new custom columns.

I have one record which satisfy condtion where output shoule be 3 but i am getting 2. It does look like syntex

is only looking at first condition which is NOT(ISBLANK([Date Agreed])). Therefore, i am getting 2 instead of 3.

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks

Your formula looks ok:

Data =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Date Agreed] ) ) && NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Contact Date] ) ), 1,
    ISBLANK ( [Date Agreed] ) && NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Contact Date] ) ), 2,
    NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Date Agreed] ) )
        && [Status Name] = "Accepted", 3,
    ISBLANK ( [Date Agreed] )
        && [Status Name] = "Accepted", 4,
    NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Date Agreed] ) ), 5,
    ISBLANK ( [Date Agreed] ), 6
)

I cannot really troubleshoot without the data. For example, if there are any leading or trailing spaces in [Status Name] then it won't work, but without the data we cannot see that. "Accepted" <> "Accepted " for example. DAX is not case sensitive though like Power Query is, so that isn't it.

Hi,

Thank you for your response.

Here are details from data..sorry can't share real data due to privacy but have created exactly same table;

This is Source Table :

Here is current output;

Based on SWITCH formula i should get below output;

Expected Output:

Hope this will help you.

Thanks

Thanks for the data. Your data doesn't allow for the results you want. For example, in your data, row 2 and 4 are identical:

• Date Agreed is null
• Contact Date is not null
• Status Name is "Accepted

There is no other critera for the SWITCH to return a 2 for row 2 and a 4 for row 4.

As for the others that were off, the below will fix it. 

Result = 
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Date Agreed] ) ) && NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Contact Date] ) ), 1,
    ISBLANK ( [Date Agreed] ) && NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Contact Date] ) ) && [Status Name] = "Accepted", 2,
    NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Date Agreed] ) )
        && [Status Name] = "Accepted", 3,
    ISBLANK ( [Date Agreed] )
        && [Status Name] = "Accepted", 4,
    NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Date Agreed] ) ) && [Status Name] = "Rejected", 5,
    ISBLANK ( [Date Agreed] ) && [Status Name] = "Rejected", 6
)

You can see my results below, and the red boxes highlighted what I changed in your Calculated Column formula.
