Tricky IF DAX Formula

Hi Experts

 

I want to do the following as a either a if or Switch in a calculated column...

 

If (RTT[Actual_Weeks_Waiting] < 18, "Under 18",
If (RTT[Actual_Weeks_Waiting] >=18, "18+",
If (RTT[Actual_Weeks_Waiting] >=52, "52+",
If (RTT[Actual_Weeks_Waiting] >=72, "72+",
If (RTT[Actual_Weeks_Waiting] >=72, "78+",blank())))))
 
the above only returns back Under 18 and 18+
18+ should sum from 18 onwards to max value fine
52+ should some only values from 52 onwards to max and so on

@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:

@Anonymous,

 

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

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.
