Switch function with multiples conditions

[carlossanoli]

Hello,

I have this situation:

Two periods: P6M and P6M YA

Sales of a product in differents sizes: Large, Medium, Small. 

previously, I only needed to see the sales by period, so I used this function Switch to select the periods at the dashboard:

SALES  = SWITCH(TRUE();VALUES('Period Table'[PERIOD]) = "P6M"; [P6M SALES ]; VALUES('Period Table'[PERIOD]) = "P6M YA"; [P6M YA SALES ]; BLANK())

it worked perfectly, but now I need to see the sales by period and by size. 

And I don't know how to use multiples conditions with Switch to first select the period and then select the size. 

Anyone could help?

I cannot have the absolute solution since I do not know how does your model look like. But I have some ideas here that may help you out.

1. If you want to add Size as another condition, just need to use && in switch value. 

SALES  = SWITCH(TRUE();
VALUES('Period Table'[PERIOD]) = "P6M" && 'Period Table'[SIZE] = "Small"; [P6M SALES ];
VALUES('Period Table'[PERIOD]) = "P6M YA" && 'Period Table'[SIZE] = "Medium"; [P6M YA SALES ];
BLANK())

2. The other way of add multiple conditions is SWITCH inside a SWITCH:

Sales =

SWITCH(TRUE(),

        VALUES('Period Table'[PERIOD]) = "P6M",

            SWITCH(TRUE(),

            VALUES('Period Table'[Size])="S","P6MS",

            VALUES('Period Table'[Size])="M","P6MM",

            VALUES('Period Table'[Size])="L","P6ML"),

   VALUES('Period Table'[PERIOD]) = "P6M YA",

            SWITCH(TRUE(),

            VALUES('Period Table'[Size])="S","P6M YAS",

            VALUES('Period Table'[Size])="M","P6M YAM",

            VALUES('Period Table'[Size])="L","P6M YAL"),

        BLANK())

Best,
Paul

@carlossanoli this existing measure will work, you just need to add Size in whatever visual you are using. Did you tried that?
