SWITCH / CASE statement not working

So here is detail,

 

Table 1:

 

Enhance -- Column Name

4773

 

Table 2:

Sustain -- Column name

446

 

Table3:

ETE TAT -- Column Name 

1

 

Now, Current Output table is like below; (As you can see Score column is empty)

 

Name                 Score

USA

UK

Canada

 

Now i would like to apply CASE statement (T-SQL) here by using SWITCH or any other function;

 

Final OUTPUT Table should be like below;

 

Name            Score

USA                4773

UK                  446

Canada           1

 

I am getting like this after applying SWITCH function;

 

Name            Score

USA                1241

UK                  

Canada           1

 

What i found out is from Table1: First row is coming not total becuase when i pull one category and Enhance fields into TABLIX format the table look like;

 

Category                    Enhance

Null                               1241

WWC                              30

REC                                123 and so on.....i feel like its only fetching first row not total.

 

Thanks

Hi @damit23183 ,

 

First you need to create two measures to calculate the sum of "enhance" and "sustain",

sum_enhance = CALCULATE(
SUM(SERVICE[NO. of ADO by Enhance]),ALL(SERVICE))
 
sum_sustain = CALCULATE(
SUM(SERVICE[No. of ADO by Sustain]),
ALL(SERVICE))
 

then use the "switch" function to create a new measure and drag it into the table

Score_Measure = SWITCH(MAX(Metric[Metric Name]),"A",MAX(Metric[Score]),"B",[sum_enhance],"C",[sum_sustain],"D",MAX(Metric[Score]))

You can refer to the pbix.

I do not think this the complete info. But assume table 4 has a country name, you can do like

Score = if(table4[Name] ="USA" , maxx(Table 1,Table 1[Enhance]), if(table4[Name] ="UK",maxx(Table 2,Table 2[Sustain]),
	maxx(Table 2,Table 2[ETE TAT])))

Switch true, you can also use it.

Hi,

This is orginal table where score has calcualted for Enhance and Sustain which you can see in highlighted below;

 

Original Score.JPG

Now, after Case statement i would have these result 3576 and 447 in line of highlighted KPI name below;

Output table.JPG

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After applying SWITCH i am not getting anything here, also please one note here there is no relationship between these two tables. 

Therefore, only with CASE statement i can pull the value here.

 

Hope this will be enough information.

Thanks in Advance!

Thanks

Hi,

 

THank you for your response and it worked great.

 

However, have another question on how to find count, sum, average by category. 

I.e Count (ID) by Service only. Just like doint Count by Group in SQL.

i would like to do Average, Sum and Count by Category in PowerBI Desktop.

 

Thanks
