    Hi there,

     

    This one works and I did conditional formatting based on that

     

    Formatting =
    VAR Percentage = [Actual Vs Budget]
    VAR CheckExpand =  Not(HASONEVALUE(GLedger[Month Name])) ||
        Not(HASONEVALUE(GLedger[GL_ACCT_TYPE])) || NOT(HASONEVALUE(GLedger[DD]))
    RETURN
    If(CheckExpand = TRUE(),
       Percentage,0)
    Thanks

Hi there,

this is my calculation - no error there but when I put this measure in my marrix I'm getting this error (see below)

Formatting =
VAR Percentage =
   Divide(((Sum('ActualVsBudget'[Activity_YTD]) - Sum(ActualVsBudget[BUD_YTD]))) , Sum(ActualVsBudget[BUD_YTD]) )
VAR CheckExpand =
    NOT ( HASONEVALUE ( 'GLedger'[Account]) )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE(),
        CheckExpand
            && Percentage < 0,0.1, "Yellow",
        CheckExpand
            && Percentage > 0,0.1, "Red"
    )
 

Error Message:
MdxScript(Model) (34, 31) Calculation error in measure 'GLedger'[Formatting]:
Function 'SWITCH' does not support comparing values of type True/False with values of type Number.
Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values.
