Variable Usage - (VAR)

Hi,

I'm trying to understand variable usage and tried creating the mesaure below however, when put into a table the result is true/false as opposed to value.

Please can you explain where i'm going wrong and if my logic is flawed.

Measure is below the Target% measure is a %


Scoring System =
var CurrentScore = 0
Return IF(Target[Target%] > 0.98, CurrentScore = CurrentScore + 0, CurrentScore = CurrentScore + 1)

@OsmanEmi , this can be like

 

Scoring System =
var CurrentScore = 0
Return IF(Target[Target%] > 0.98,  CurrentScore + 0,  CurrentScore + 1)

 

but are you expecting looping that will not happen

Hi Amit,

Thank you this was what I was looking for.
In terms of if I wanted to create a nested if that adds more to the variable would this still work?
