use concatenate in measure

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have two columns Major and Minor which needs to be concatenate and use that on creating a measure.

Table1

Major      Minor    Account1     Account2

100         001         500            300

200         002         400            200

Condtion for Measure is =if( concatenate(Major,Minor)='100001',Account1,Account2)

I have one calculated column=concatenate(Major,Minor)

But not able to use it in Measure. I tried to use selectedValue too but didn't work for me .

Is there a way to craete measure using concatenate?

Thanks in advance.

hi @Anonymous 

First, you should know that:

1. Calculation column/table not support dynamic changed based on filter or slicer.
2. Measure can be affected by filter/slicer, so you can use it to get dynamic summary result in a visual by its row context.

https://www.sqlbi.com/articles/calculated-columns-and-measures-in-dax/

Second, for your requriement, you could use this formula to create a meausre

Condtion for Measure is = SUMX('Table',IF( CONCATENATE('Table'[Major],'Table'[Minor])="100001",'Table'[Account1],'Table'[Account2]))

are you sure this doesnt work?

Measure is =
var _tmp = SELECTEDVALUE(Table[Major]) & SELECTEDVALUE(Table[Minor])
RETURN
if( _tmp ="100001", SELECTEDVALUE(Table[Account1]), SELECTEDVALUE(Table[Account2]))

If I use selectedValue function I need to bring Major and Minor columns to my report for Measure to work.

I am not supposed to bring Major and Minor to the report.

Thanks,
