I have a measure that calculates a result from multiple different measures for different employees, e.g.
Measure0 =
(
[Measure1] +
[Measure2]
) / 2 +
[Measure3]
My intent is for Measure3 to only be calculated if the employee belongs in a certain group. E.g.
Measure0 =
(
[Measure1] +
[Measure2]
) / 2 +
IF(
Tbl_employees[Group]="Group1" ;
[Measure3] ;
0
)
But I cannot use the IF statement like that, it'd have to be like sum of groups in the employees table, but that is illogical. Is there a way to apply the measure calculation for only certain non-numeric values?

Hi @martti ,
When using measures you need to be aware that you cannot reference tables/column directly and you need to use aggregators in your case if you use the MAX function for the if statment that should work.
Measure0 =
( [Measure1] + [Measure2] ) / 2
+ IF ( MAX ( Tbl_employees[Group] ) = "Group1"; [Measure3]; 0 )
You can also try this variant of the calculation should work in the same way:
Measure0 =
( [Measure1] + [Measure2] ) / 2
+ CALCULATE (
[Measure3];
FILTER (
Tbl_employees;
Tbl_employees[Group] ="Group1"
)
)

Check out my blog: Power BI em PortuguêsI figured that referencing to the column directly would not be an option, but never thought about using MAX() for the reference. It worked exactly as intended, thanks!
Hi @martti ,
You can also use SELECTEDVALUE, MIN, or other similar notation.
However not really sure how you want to present the information but if you want to have it in a table you need to use the second formula I presented since the sum of the values using the IF statement will get you an incorrect result due to context.
