Set Default Value

Targets.JPG

I have a Fact Table with the Names and the Target Table with the Target and Default Target.

I want to consider the Names from Fact Table and the Targets from the Target Table, where the names that are not listed in the Target Table should be assigned a default value "100%".

Is there a way to achieve this?

Attached a sample .pbix file (Targets.pbix) for better understanding.


Thanks in Advance!

Final Target = VAR __var = IF(Fact[Names] = RELATED('Target Table'[Name]),RELATED('Target Table'[Target]), RELATED('Target Table'[Default Target]))
RETURN IF(ISBLANK(__var),1,__var)

You could do something like:

 

Final Target 1 = VAR __var = IF(Fact[Names] = RELATED('Target Table'[Name]),RELATED('Target Table'[Target]), RELATED('Target Table'[Default Target]))
RETURN IF(ISBLANK(__var),MAXX(ALL('Target Table'),[Default Target]),__var)

Hi @Greg_Deckler

 

I have a followup question. Is there any chance to use the Default target column instead of hard coding the default value?

You could do something like:

 

Final Target 1 = VAR __var = IF(Fact[Names] = RELATED('Target Table'[Name]),RELATED('Target Table'[Target]), RELATED('Target Table'[Default Target]))
RETURN IF(ISBLANK(__var),MAXX(ALL('Target Table'),[Default Target]),__var)
