Hello guys,
I would like to use same function IF like in Excel.
Table - is already calculated field and it's live source. I have 2 columns: Plan, Actual. I want to create measure that will shows me values like this: IF(Actual>1;1;Actual). But in power bi will give me value 1 everywhere, even in Total, because totals here is calculated field too, that used same formula, instead of sum by column. How can i solve it?
| Plan | Actual | Corrected | |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | |
| 1 | 2 | 1 | |
| 1 | |||
| 1 | 5 | 1 | |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | |
| 1 | 3 | 1 | |
| 1 | |||
| 1 | |||
| 1 | |||
| 1 | |||
| 1 | |||
| 1 | |||
| Total | 14 | 14 | 7 |
if Corrected is already a calculated column, wouldn't simple SUM measure do OK?
CorrectedValue = SUM('Table'[Corrected])
Please note it's a new Measure not a new column
Can you create calculated column in this table with the IF syntax you posted? and then apply the calculated measure?
Hi @Stachu
No i can't as it's live data. The easiest way is to ask admin to add new column with my function.
Hi @idontexist,
In addition, could you try using SUMX function to create a new measure to see if it works in your scenario? ![]()
Measure = sumx(Table1, IF(Actual>1;1;Actual))
Or
Measure = sumx(Table1,[Corrected])
