Hello,
I have a table like this:
Status | Order |
True | 1234 |
false | 1235 |
True | 1236 |
false | 1237 |
1238 | |
1239 | |
1240 |
I want to make a calculated column this way:
if ( Status=false(), "active", if (status= True(), "inactive", "inactive")
But I simply cannot get "inactive" into the empty cells. Also via the filter panel of the table visual I empty cells in status strangely didn't get filtered out.
Can I wrap my if statement into a another function to reach that?
Thank you in advance.
Best.

@Applicable88 yes it matters, check this post Handling BLANK in DAX - SQLBI
Also, you can simply your expression:
if ( 'Table'[Flag]==blank() || 'Table'[Flag]= False(), "active", "inactive")

Hi, @Applicable88
According to your description, I can roughly understand your requirement, you want the column value to be “active” when the status is false and “inactive” when the status is true, right? I think you can simply achieve this using the SWITCH() function in DAX, You can try this DAX formula:
Column =
SWITCH(
[Status],
FALSE(),"active",
TRUE(),"inactive",
"inactive")
And you can get what you want.
More info about the SWITCH() function in DAX

Thank you very much!

@v-robertq-msft @parry2k @Anonymous ,
thank you very much. @parry2k , if you woulnd't have mention it, I hardly would know that its better to evaluate blanks first in a nested if - statement.
In that article I found out that its also best practice to do so with the switch() function, so it surprised me a bit to see the above example of @v-robertq-msft still fill out "inactive" for the empty cells correctly.
Best regards.

Create Calculated column using following logic
@Applicable88 what is the column type of status? is it a boolean or a text?

Thank you, @Anonymous @parry2k ,
Its set on boolean already.
Is the order of a statement in particular important?
This won't work:
if( 'Table'[Flag]= False(), "active", if( 'Table'[Flag]= True(), "inactive", if('Table'[Flag]==blank(), "active"))
But strangely that order works, when I check for the empty cells first:
if ( 'Table'[Flag]==blank(), "active", if( 'Table'[Flag]= False(), "active", if( 'Table'[Flag]= True(), "inactive"))
