Hi Experts
I want to do the following as a either a if or Switch in a calculated column...
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous,
Try this calculated column:
CalculatedColumn =
SWITCH (
TRUE,
RTT[Actual_Weeks_Waiting] >= 78, "78+",
RTT[Actual_Weeks_Waiting] >= 72, "72+",
RTT[Actual_Weeks_Waiting] >= 52, "52+",
RTT[Actual_Weeks_Waiting] >= 18, "18+",
RTT[Actual_Weeks_Waiting] < 18, "Under 18",
BLANK ()
)

Hi @Anonymous,
The problem statement that you have requires you to check for a range instead of checking if it is greater than a particular number. A number like 14 will result "Under 18" but since your second condition is >18, anything that is more than 18 (25, 53, 73, 79) will statisfy that condition and you will get "18+". The rest of the conditions in your code will never even be checked.
You should write the code for checking the ranges like this:
Category = SWITCH(TRUE,
'Table'[Values]<18, "Under 18",
'Table'[Values]>=18 && 'Table'[Values]<52, "18+",
'Table'[Values]>=52 && 'Table'[Values]<72, "52+",
'Table'[Values]>=72 && 'Table'[Values]<78, "72+")
Result:
Did I answer your question? Mark this post as a solution if I did!

@Anonymous,
I looked at your other post and noticed a missing close parenthesis at the end.

Hi - even with that corrected its still not returning back the correct result
Excellent sir worked.......
@Anonymous,
Glad to hear it worked. By the way, you can remove the BLANK() argument since it will return BLANK if none of the conditions are met.
