SWITCH function problem

Hi Community, 

 

I want to group customer based on years of transaction using SWITCH function.

For example customer A first transaction in 2010 , last transaction in 2020 , so years of transaction is 10.

Like wise for other customers. 

 

Date Diff(measure)

 

MAX('Table'[Year ])-MIN('Table'[Year ])

 

 

Loyalty(New Column)

 

Loyalty = SWITCH(TRUE(), 
[DateDiff]>=0 && [DateDiff]<=2, "BRONZE", 
[DateDiff]>=3 && [DateDiff]<=5, "SILVER",
[DateDiff]>=6 && [DateDiff]<=8, "GOLD")

 

 

But the column Loyalty when put in a slicer, it doesnt show all groups.

 

Please check the sample data.

Thank you in advance.

You need to give it a row context to evaluate the DateDiff before you can do the switch, try doing the datediff as a column in the table: 

 

Years as Customer =
var customer = 'Table'[Customer ]
var firstyear = MINX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Customer ] = customer), 'Table'[Year ])
var lastyear = MAXX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Customer ] = customer), 'Table'[Year ])
RETURN lastyear-firstyear

 

 

Loyalty = SWITCH(TRUE(),
[Years as Customer]>=0 && [Years as Customer]<=2, "BRONZE",
[Years as Customer]>=3 && [Years as Customer]<=5, "SILVER",
[Years as Customer]>=6 && [Years as Customer]<=8, "GOLD")
