Using a measure in a calculated column

Hi,

 

I have this calc col -> Punctuality = IF (OTIF[ShiftInTime]<OTIF[TimeFrom]-1/24*.25,"Early",

IF (OTIF[ShiftInTime]>OTIF[TimeFrom]+1/24*.25,"Late","On Time"

& IF (OTIF[ShiftInTime]>OTIF[TimeFrom]+1/24*1,"Perfect")))

 

I have this measure -> targetperc OT = LASTNONBLANK('OT%'[OT%],0.25) 

 

I substitute the *.25 in th calc col with * targetperc OT to give me -> 

 

Punctuality = IF (OTIF[ShiftInTime]<OTIF[TimeFrom]-1/24*[targetperc OT],"Early",

IF (OTIF[ShiftInTime]>OTIF[TimeFrom]+1/24*[targetperc OT],"Late","On Time"

& IF (OTIF[ShiftInTime]>OTIF[TimeFrom]+1/24*1,"Perfect")))

 

I have applied the values in OT% table to a slicer. However, when I select values in the slicer, nothing changes. Below is the table my measure is using.

What am I missing here?

    Hi

     

    You can not use measure in calculated column. you need to come up with some other logic.

    Thanks for uploading the pbix.

    Two things.

    1. The targetperc OT is using the OTP% table, if it is using OT%, please change it.
      targetperc OT = LASTNONBLANK('OTP%'[OTP%],0.25)
    2. Not a calculated column Punctuality, use the expression in filters. For example as below. You can modify other measures where the Punctuality is involved accordingly. By this approach, the measure values vary according to the Slicer.
       
      Early =
COUNTROWS (
    FILTER (
        OTIF,
        IF (
            OTIF[ShiftInTime]
                < OTIF[TimeFrom]
                - 1 / 24
                * [targetperc OT],
            "Early",
            IF (
                OTIF[ShiftInTime]
                    > OTIF[TimeFrom]
                    + 1 / 24
                    * [targetperc OT],
                "Late",
                "On Time"
                    & IF ( OTIF[ShiftInTime] > OTIF[TimeFrom] + 1 / 24 * 1, "Perfect" )
            )
        )
            = "Early"
    )
)
