how to get multiple outputs from a measure?

Hi,

 

I have a measure calculating for 4 different categories look like the below:

 

var _a = CALCULATE(....)
var _b = CALCULATE(...)

var sum_a = CALCULATE(...)
var sum_b = CALCULATE(...)

What I want to get is that when the category is a show calculation of a, b c, and d.

 

categorycalculation
aa/sum of a
bb / sum of b

...

 

But I cannot write the part after the return function.

 

Should like like this i believe:

return

if category is a:

then DIVIDE(_a, sum_a),

if category is b:

then divide (_b, sum_b)

 

I used ISFILTERED(Category) it works, but when I want to filter it with a date using a slicer, the filter is not applying.

 

I cant add the date filter after the return function because dates are not certain and I want to leave it to the user to choose it with a slicer. 

 

How can I get the multiple outputs without using the ISFILTERED function because it disables the date slicer?

Hi @frknklcsln ,

Please have a try.

performance measure=
var _a = calculate(...)
var _b = calculate(...)
var _c = calculate(...)
var _d= calculate(...)
var sum_a = calculate(...)
var sum_b = calculate(...)
var sum_c = calculate(...)
var sum_d= calculate(...)

return
if (max('table'[category])="a",divide(_a,sum_a),if (max('table'[category])="b",divide (_b,sum_b),if (max('table'[category])="c",divide (_c,sum_c),if (max('table'[category])="d",divide (_d,sum_d),blank()))))

 

If I have misunderstood your meaning, please provide your pbix file without privacy information and more details with your desired output.

@frknklcsln , Try like

New Measure = Switch ( True() ,

max(Table[Category1])  ="Category1" , [Measure1],

max(Table[Category2])  ="Category1" , [Measure2],

max(Table[Category3])  ="Category1" , [Measure3],

max(Table[Category4])  ="Category1" , [Measure4] )

 

 

or

New Measure = sumx(values(Table[Category1] ) , Switch ( True() ,

max(Table[Category1])  ="Category1" , [Measure1],

max(Table[Category2])  ="Category1" , [Measure2],

max(Table[Category3])  ="Category1" , [Measure3],

max(Table[Category4])  ="Category1" , [Measure4] ) )

Sir, I need to write after the return function. I have only 1 measure which calculates for 4 different categories.

performance measure=
var _a = calculate(...)
var _b = calculate(...)
var _c = calculate(...)
var _d= calculate(...)

var sum_a = calculate(...)
var sum_b = calculate(...)
var sum_c = calculate(...)
var sum_d= calculate(...)

// I need below part
return
if category a:


divide(_a,sum_a)

if category b:

divide (_b,sum_b)

??
..

??
