Hi every one
When I select the if function, the dex bar does not show the columns that I select
please help me
🛑
It seems that you use the if() function in measure, when you use the condition, you need to add some function then the column can display,
e.g
Measure =
IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( table[id] ) = 1, 1, 0 )
If the column type is number, you can use the function as @Idrissshatila mentioned, such as sum(), max() and so on, if the column type is text you can use the function such as, max(), selectedvalue().
Best Regards!

Hello @farhad_mahan ,
the if function in a measure only takes functions like sum(column) or min, avg or etc.. but it doesn't take a column value directly.
but when you're using if in a calculated column then you could reference the column directly.
If I answered your question, please mark my post as solution, Appreciate your Kudos 👍
