Set a value based on column text
- Anonymous2 years ago
Hi KossithAz ,
Thanks techlog for the quick reply. I have some other thoughts to add:
Based on the error message, it appears that you are creating a metric. If you need to create a measure, use the following formula.
Measure = SWITCH(TRUE(), MAX('Table'[Year])="2021/22",118, MAX('Table'[Year])="2022/23",118, MAX('Table'[Year])="2023/24",110, MAX('Table'[Year])="2024/25",110, BLANK())If you need to create a calculated column, use the following formula.
Column = SWITCH(TRUE(), [Year]="2021/22",118, [Year]="2022/23",118, [Year]="2023/24",110, [Year]="2024/25",110, BLANK())If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.

Hi,
I've tried the above but have been hit with:
"A single value for column 'FIN_YEAR' in table 'table' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifiying an aggregation such as min, max, count or sum to get a single result".
