SWITCH with multiple criteria
I have been struggling with this for a while, but I cannot make progress. The organization has matters that are billed on a Monthly, Bi-Monthly or Quarterly basis, so on the 1st of any given month...
The DATE formula ask for:
YEAR, MONTH and DAY you are always putting today you don't neeed that.
Replace all of the MONTH( DATE(TODAY(), TODAY(), TODAY())) by simply
MONTH (TODAY())Also to simplyfy you measure try the following code:
BillFrq = VAR Month_Selection = MONTH ( TODAY () ) RETURN SWITCH ( TRUE (), CONTAINS ( Matters, Matters[BillFreq], "Monthly" ), "Due for billing this month", CONTAINS ( Matters, Matters[BillFreq], "B1" ) && Month_Selection IN { 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 }, "Due for billing this month", CONTAINS ( Matters, Matters[BillFreq], "B2" ) && Month_Selection IN { 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 }, "Due for billing this month", CONTAINS ( Matters, Matters[BillFreq], "Q1" ) && Month_Selection IN { 1, 4, 7, 10 }, "Due for billing this month", CONTAINS ( Matters, Matters[BillFreq], "Q2" ) && Month_Selection IN { 2, 5, 8, 11 }, "Due for billing this month", CONTAINS ( Matters, Matters[BillFreq], "Q3" ) && Month_Selection IN { 3, 5, 8, 12 }, "Due for billing this month", "Not due for billing" )Also check the months within each of the in
Hi MojoGene ,
The first parameter of a switch funcion is the expression so the value you want to compare alonside with the rest of the values in your case you are making it :
CONTAINS ( Matters, Matters[BillFreq], "Monthly" )And then you are placing the
"Due for billing this month"
In this case you are making the comparision believe that the second part is what you want to return not compare so you need to redo your measure to something similar to this.
BillFrq =
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
CONTAINS ( Matters, Matters[BillFreq], "Monthly" ), "Due for billing this month",
CONTAINS ( Matters, Matters[BillFreq], "B1" )
&& MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "1"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "3"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "5"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "7"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "9"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "11", "Due for billing this month",
CONTAINS ( Matters, Matters[BillFreq], "B2" )
&& MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "2"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "4"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "6"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "8"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "10"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "12", "Due for billing this month",
CONTAINS ( Matters, Matters[BillFreq], "Q1" )
&& MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "1"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "4"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "7"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "10", "Due for billing this month",
CONTAINS ( Matters, Matters[BillFreq], "Q2" )
&& MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "2"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "5"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "8"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "11", "Due for billing this month",
CONTAINS ( Matters, Matters[BillFreq], "Q3" )
&& MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "3"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "5"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "8"
|| MONTH ( DATE ( TODAY (), TODAY (), TODAY () ) ) = "12", "Due for billing this month",
"Not due for billing"
