Hello. I'm just trying to do some dynamic segmentation of customers according to the units they buy. Very simple in theory.
The category would be: less than 100 units, between 100 and 250 units, more than 250 units.
It was easy to do it for a particular month:
Category = if [units] <100 then "<100" else if [units] <250 then "100-250" else ">250"
But if I want to do it for the whole year I can't find the better way to solve that as I couldn't use the YTD function in M language.
For example, this customer it would be at the "<100" category from january to march, but then it would be at the "100-250" from april to june, and finally it would end up at the ">250" category.
I'm afraid it's really simple but I couldn't do it. Please I need help!
Solved! Go to Solution.
@JuliaYebra,
Create YTD measure using DAX following the tips in the blog below.
https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/4841/calculating-mtd-qtd-ytd-running-and-cumulative-total-in-...
Then create a column in your table using DAX rather than M, you can also use SWITCH function as other's post to create the column.
Column = IF([YTDMeasure]<100,"<100",(IF([YTDMeasure]<250,"100-250",">250")))

Lydia

what about the switch statement? if you create it as a measure it should just roll up at whatever date level you look at it i think
ie
SWITCH (TRUE (),
AND ( unit >= 0, unit <= 100 ), "<100",
keep going as above until last one
"na" )
