Hi,
So I have a calculated column where I want to categorize data based on size:
Size =
IF([SA M2]<1, "Small",
IF([SA M2]<5,"Medium",
"Large"))
where [SA M2] = SELECTEDVALUE(Surface_Area[SurfaceArea_m2]).
However, when I'm attempting to combine them, it doesn't work any more (shows everything as small).
Size 2 =
IF(SELECTEDVALUE(Surface_Area[SurfaceArea_m2])<1, "Small",
IF(SELECTEDVALUE(Surface_Area[SurfaceArea_m2])<5,"Medium",
"Large"))
Why would this be?
Any comment would be greatly appreciated

Hi @ningty09
Every Measure implies CALCULATE function automatically that preforms context transition, so...
[SA M2] = SELECTEDVALUE( Surface_Area[SurfaceArea_m2] )
in reality, is...
[SA M2] = CALCULATE( SELECTEDVALUE( Surface_Area[SurfaceArea_m2] ) )
therefore, your calculated column should look like that.
Size 2 = VAR x = CALCULATE( SELECTEDVALUE( Surface_Area[SurfaceArea_m2] ) ) RETURN SWITCH( TRUE(), x < 1, "Small", x < 5, "Medium", "Large" )
this article will explain the concept of context transition.
