Selected Value and IF Else statement issue - Dynamic Calculations

Hi 

 

I have a below scenarion, I'm able to achive it but where i need to create multiple DAXs for each "Global/Region" values and its each "market" values as below example.

 

I have two global/region values and its assocaited market values.

 

Global region (ASIA) with its Markets (China, India, Pakistan, Asia-Total)
Global region (Africa) with its Markets (Nigeria, Ethiopia, Egypt, Africa-Total)

 

When even user select it should show its associate market values or when ever user select "Global/Region" it should show its "Global/Region" Here i have  a condition when user select ASIA he need to show ASIA total which should be "Asia-Total" market it should be ignore its Markets (China, India, Pakistan) Simillary same for Africa as i have created below screenshot for reference and DAXs i used.

 

ramshoney1225_0-1638433392937.png

 

First approach i did as below  

Created DAX for each global/region value and its markets its a manual effort if i have 50 markets then i need to do 50 DAXs which is not preferable 

 

Africa_total = CALCULATE(SUM(Countrys[Actual]),
FILTER(Countrys,'Countrys'[Country] = "Africa-Total"))


Simillary i did for all regions and markets 

 

Final DAX using as below

 

M_Selected = SWITCH(
SELECTEDVALUE('Countrys'[Region/Global]),"Africa",
SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE(Countrys[Country]),
"Egypt",'Countrys'[Egypt_Total],
"Ethiopia",[Ethiopia_total],
"Nigeria",[Nigeria_Total],
"Africa-Total",[Africa_total],
[Africa_total]),
"Asia",
SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE(Countrys[Country]),
"Asia-Total",[Asia-Total],
"China",[China_Total],
"India",[India_Total],
"Pakistan",[Pakistan_Total],
[Asia-Total]))

 

2nd Approach: - Planning to ignore all markets calculation

 

Created DYnamic market calculation measure: 

 

Measure_Market =
var _market=SELECTEDVALUE('Countrys'[Market])
return
CALCULATE(SUM(Countrys[Actual]),
'Countrys'[Market] = _market
)

 

M_Selected=
IF (SELECTEDVALUE('Countrys'[Region/Global]) IN {"Asia", "Asia-Total"}, [Asia-Total],
IF (SELECTEDVALUE('Countrys'[Region/Global]) IN {"Africa", "Africa-Total"}, [Africa-total],
[Measure_Market] ) )

 

Now i just created DAX for "Region/Total" for (Asia,Africa) and I created DAX for two makets (Asia-Total,Africa-Total)

remainings markets i'm planning to use the above Measure_Market

 

Problem :  Measure_Maket is showing blanks when ever i select makrets (China, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Egypt) in the report but working fine for "Globa/Region", How to acive the dynamic calculations for markets (China, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Egypt)

 

Need help

 

Thanks,

Hi @amitchandak 

 

Sorry the below is also not working 

 

how to handle the else part -

 

Finaltest = SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE(Countrys[Region/Global]),
"Asia",
[Asia-Total],
"Africa",[Africa-Total],
"sum(Countrys[Actual]))
 
Still working, but not working on else part
 
Thanks for your reponse.

@ramshoney1225 , is the Country table is joined with your fact or an independent table for the Measure slicer.?

 

If it joined not sure about the need of a separate table

 

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

Thanks

 

 

 

Hi @amitchandak 

 

Its a single file, no joins associated with any tables.

I have a single table with all coulmns country, market, and its measures.

 

Thanks,
