Hello! 🙂
I am trying to "translate" a complex case statement in DAX. I have tried 'Switch function' and it's OK:
New field = SWITCH (
TRUE (),
table1[Category] = "hair-color", "LUXE",
table1[Category] = "hair-care", "LUXE",
table1[Category] = "hair-style", "LUXE",
...etc
"Other"
)
What's the problem? When within the case statement I have more options for the same string:
CASE
WHEN REGEXP_MATCH(Field 1, ".*Hair-Color.*|.*Hair-Care.*|.*Hair-Style.*") THEN "Hair"
WHEN REGEXP_MATCH(Field 1, ".*Skin-Sun.*|.*Skin-Face.*|.*Skin-Body.*") THEN "Skin"
... etc
ELSE "Other"
END
How can I translate every of these options: ".*Skin-Sun.*|.*Skin-Face.*|.*Skin-Body.*"|...etc" within my Switch function in DAX?
Thanks so much in advance! 🙂

@avargas-- , You can try like
New field = SWITCH (
TRUE (),
table1[Category] in ("hair-color","hair-care","hair-style"), "LUXE",
"Other"
)
But if need to search then you need use search, check
Hi @avargas-- ,
This might work?
_newField =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
CONTAINSSTRING(table1[Category], "Hair"), "Hair",
CONTAINSSTRING(table1[Category], "Skin"), "Skin",
...
)

Hi Amit,
It is throwing an error of Operator or expressions '()' is not suported in this context.
Below ways can however work:
NEW_FIELD = SWITCH (
TRUE (),
CONTAINSSTRING(Table1[Category],"hair-color"), "LUXE",
CONTAINSSTRING(Table1[Category],"hair-care"),"LUXE",
CONTAINSSTRING(Table1[Category],"hair-style"), "LUXE"
)
and
NEW_FIELD = SWITCH (
TRUE (),
CONTAINSSTRING(Table1[Category],"hair-color")||CONTAINSSTRING(Table1[Category],"hair-care")||
CONTAINSSTRING(Table1[Category],"hair-style"), "LUXE"
)
But I would want to see , if we can give multiple values in "IN" Statement so to avoid giving column name, using CONTAINSSTRING function again and again , like it works in Tableau by using "|" symbol and dont need to give column name repeatedly WHEN REGEXP_MATCH(Field 1, "*.Hair-Color.*|*.Hair-Care.*|.*Hair-Style.*") THEN "Hair"
Hi @Anonymous ,
You can use Amit's answer, but you need to use curly braces (not standard paretheses) around the 'IN' list, as it is a list. Amit's calculation updated would look like this:
New field =
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
table1[Category] IN {"hair-color", "hair-care", "hair-style"}, "LUXE",
table1[Category] IN {"Skin-Sun", "Skin-Face", "Skin-Body"}, "SKIN",
"Other"
)
I already suggested the CONTAINSSTRING option but Amit's method, correctly implemented, is far more performant I believe.
