Sum of a Switch Statement

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to gather the total sum of sales that my company has generated throughout the year using a Switch statment that would be similar to this: 

SUM(CASE SOPTYPE

WHEN 3 THEN DOCAMNT
WHEN 4 THEN DOCAMNT*-1 END) [YTD Sales]

So far I've tried this but haven't had any success: 

SalesTotal = (SWITCH

(SELECTEDVALUE(SOP30200[SOPTYPE]),3,SELECTEDVALUE(SOP30200[DOCAMNT]),

4,SELECTEDVALUE(SOP30200[DOCAMNT])*-1,

0)

Thank you in advance

I would break up the calculation into 1 base measure, 2 measures that are based on the SOPTYPE value, and then a 4th measure that uses SWITCH() to decide which measure to evaluate.

$ Sales = 
SUM(SOP30200[DOCAMNT])

$ Sales SOP 3 = 
CALCULATE(
 [$ Sales],
 SOP30200[SOPTYPE] = 3
)

$ Sales SOP 4 = 
CALCULATE(
 [$ Sales] * -1,
 SOP30200[SOPTYPE] = 4
)

$ Sales Switch = 
SWITCH(
 SELECTEDVALUE(SOP30200[SOPTYPE]),
 3, [$ Sales SOP 3],
 4, [$ Sales SOP 4]
)

I like your idea of breaking up the calculations, and so far the first three are working perfectly. However, the Switch statement is still returning a Blank. 

Since I already have the total of invoices and returns through "$ Sales SOP 3" and "$ Sales SOP 4" is there a way for me to just add those two results together and get my sales numbers? Possibly using Sum or Calculate??

Actually I figured out how to add the measures together so I'm all set now. Thanks @Anonymous
