Let's say I have the following expression:
EVALUATE SUMMARIZECOLUMNS('RealTimeServiceTypeSummary'[PointCount], 'RealTimeServiceTypeSummary'[RealTimeServiceTypeName])
This expression is a query for a dateset. What I want is to run it conditionally meaning it either returns data or not doesn't event run.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Markzolotoy try this:
DEFINE
VAR __RunQuery = FALSE () --set value to TRUE () if you want to run the query
EVALUATE
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
'RealTimeServiceTypeSummary'[PointCount],
'RealTimeServiceTypeSummary'[RealTimeServiceTypeName],
FILTER ( 'RealTimeServiceTypeSummary', __RunQuery )
)
