Error in DAX?

[Anonymous]

I have written this formula as a part of custom column:

if[GRP]="3" then "Contract" else if[GRP]="4" then Contract" else if[GRP]="6" then "Contract" else if[GRP]="7" then "Contract" else if[GRP]="9" then "Contract" else if[GRP]="2" then "Contract" else if([GRP]="B" and [JOB] <> 12345) then "Contract" else "Regular Employee"

I executed the same for another table and it worked but whenn I create the same for another table and check for else if([GRP]="ZY" and [JOB] <> 12345) then "Contract" with filters it does not show regular for the job = 12345.

Any idea as to why this could happen? Because, it gets executed perfectly in another table. Basically if GRP=B and JOB is not equal to 12345 then it is under contract else, regular. But when I filter for GRP=B and JOB=12345 it still comes under contract for me.

HI @Anonymous,

According to your description, I think your formula is m query instead of dax formula.

You can try to use below formula if it sutiable for your scenario.

M query formula:

#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Preview step", "Custom column", each if List.Contains({"2","3","4","6","7","9"},[GRP]) or ([GRP]="B" and [JOB] <> 12345) then "Contract" else "Regular Employee")

Dax formule:

Dax formula=
IF (
    OR (
        [GRP] IN { "3", "4", "6", "7", "9", "2" },
        AND ( [GRP] = "B", [JOB] <> 12345 )
    ),
    "Contract",
    "Regular Employee"
)
