Using negation condition in switch function

[alejandroezp]

Good morning,

I am trying to use a negative condition in a switch function. My idea is to assign a label to all the rows where appears a string.

I am using something like this example:

NOT(CONTAINS('Facturas','Facturas'[Comentario],"gratis")), "papo pepo",

The problem comes when this string assigns the result papo pepo when the condition is true and when it´s false.

How can i change the string to make the false results go to the next string of the function?

Cheers

Hi @alejandroezp 

You can try CONTAINSSTRING( ) that returns TRUE/FALSE directly in your SWITCH function. 

SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    CONTAINSSTRING('Facturas'[Comentario], "gratis"), "Free",
    CONTAINSSTRING('Facturas'[Comentario], "oferta"), "Discount",
    -- Add more as needed
    TRUE, "Other"
)

Hi @alejandroezp 

Normally, switch(true) should help you to achieve that

SWITCH(TRUE(),
CONTAINSSTRING('Facturas','Facturas'[Comentario],"gratis"), "gratis_label", 
[Your Next Condition], "label_for_next_condition", // This will be evaluated if 'gratis' was NOT found
[Another Condition], "another_label",
...
"Default Label"
)

If it is not working, do not hesistate to share a dummy sample of what you are trying to achieve
