Dax Measure IF

Hi,

 

I need to calculate a measure by following this logic:

if the column "Actual or Forecast" has or is equal to "Actual" then calculate the result if true (see below)

if the result is false then put the result if false (see below):

 

Result if true


CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Payroll")+CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Non-Payroll")+CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Capital Charges")+[Actual Cost Center]

 

Result if false

 

CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Payroll")+CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Non-Payroll")+CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Capital Charges")


I tried with something like this but it gives an error: IF('FT Forecast Q3','FT Forecast Q3'[Actual or Forecast]="Actual" then ........

 

Thanks,

@cristianml seems like you had parenthesis at wrong place

 

Forecast Q3 Cost = IF(MAX('FT Forecast Q3'[Actual or Forecast])="Actual", 
CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Payroll")+
CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Non-Payroll")+
CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Capital Charges")+
[Actual Cost Center], CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Payroll")+
CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Non-Payroll")+
CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Capital Charges")
)

@cristianml try this

 

IF(MAX('FT Forecast Q3'[Actual or Forecast]="Actual" ), <true measure>, <false measure> )

Hi @parry2k ,

 

For some reason It doesn't work :

Forecast Q3 Cost = IF(MAX('FT Forecast Q3'[Actual or Forecast]="Actual" ),
CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Payroll")+CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Non-Payroll")+CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Capital Charges")+[Actual Cost Center],
CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Payroll")+CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Non-Payroll")+CALCULATE(SUM('FT Forecast Q3'[Amount]),'FT Forecast Q3'[Category Group]="Capital Charges"))
