Switch(SelectedValue Help

‎11-08-2021 07:54 AM

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!

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!
