If Statement on a Measure

Hello, 

 

I created a measure that looks at the distinct count of a column with text.  

 

Measure = DISTINCTCOUNT(Table_Name[Investment_fund_name])

 

The output produced is a number. 

 

I would like to create an if statement on the measure above. 

If the output in the measure above is greater than 20, a value of 6 should pull in and if it is less than 20, then a value of 0 should pull in. 

 

If statements and switch are not producting the correct values. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Hi @gmasta1129,

 

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.

 

Based on the requirement, please use this below measure it will give either 6 or 0 based on the total number of distinct funds, regardless of the table or visual context where it is used:

 

Measure = VAR DistinctFundCount = CALCULATE(

    DISTINCTCOUNT(Table_Name[Investment_fund_name]),

    REMOVEFILTERS(Table_Name)

)

RETURN

IF(DistinctFundCount > 20, 6, 0)

Hello Akash, 

Unfortunately the formula did not work. When I place this measure into the table visual, it creates hundreds of rows rows and each row shows a value of 0.

Hi @gmasta1129 

Measure = 
IF(
    DISTINCTCOUNT(Table_Name[Investment_fund_name]) > 20, 
    6, 
    0
)

If this still doesn’t produce the expected result, double-check the calculation context (e.g., filters or relationships) in your report, as they can impact the measure's output.
