Waterfall using Multiple Measures not producing anything (source of Measure is included)

HI,

 

FIRST: I give KUDOS and mark as solved!

 

I found what looks like a great Waterfall Solution but I can not get it to work. It should work in a simple table with the supporting column PVM_Order[PVM_Waterfall1] (showen in the very bottom snippet).

 

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Waterfall-chart-with-multiple-measures/m-p/1186499

 

First, all the measures used in the formula to create a Waterfall work (a snip of a table is below).

 

Below is my Formula to produce the waterfall.

 

The PVM_Waterfall formula appears to be doing nothing. I show examples at the bottom of four tables in a report with that Measure coming up Blank.

 

Any ideas? Thank you for reading!

 

PVM_Waterfall =

SWITCH(

    SELECTEDVALUE( PVM_Order[PVM_Waterfall1] ) , // Table with Values (Name for Column)

    "1", [Sales_USD_PYTD] , // Fact_Sales table

    "2", [PVM_Price_Impact] , //ProductMix_Measures table

    "3",[PVM_Volume_Impact], // ProductMix_Measures table

    "4",[PVM_MIX_Impact] , // ProductMix_Measures table

    "5" , [Sales_USD_YTD],  // Fact_Sales table

    BLANK() )

 

A table with all the measures: The revenue change produced by the PVM measures matches actual revenue change

PVM_Volume_Impact

PVM_Price_Impact

PVM_Mix_Impact

Revenue_Change_PVM

Sales_USD_YTD_vs_PYTD

                       (282,689)

                   108,707

                  (25,494)

                      (199,475)

              (199,480)

   

Rounding

You need to change your formula to this

 

SWITCH(

    SELECTEDVALUE( PVM_Order[Order]

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.
