Hello - I am trying to write a what I think is a simple dax statement however I always end up with an error. I looked at a blog which provides the same type of logic however I cannot get mine to work. Please Help, what am I doing wrong?
SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE(SAMPLE_TABLE[PROJECT_HEALTH],"Red","Red","Green","Green",BLANK(),"Complete", ""))
Thanks for any help!
Solved! Go to Solution.
SWITCH(
SELECTEDVALUE( SAMPLE_TABLE[PROJECT_HEALTH] ),
"Red", "Red",
"Green", "Green",
BLANK(), "Complete",
""
)
| Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |
