Replace Calculated Measure With "New" When Year over Year = -100 (SQL Case When)

[ehanson2]

Hello, I am new to PowerBI and learning. I created calculated measures for Product Revenue TY and PR LY, with one more for YoY PR. In my YoY PR column, I have a bunch of -100% because there are some new products in the table this year. I'm wondering how I can simply replace the -100%'s with "New" to make it look cleaner. I know in sql you can use a case when statement to replace the values, i'm lost on how to do it here. 

Please note these are calculated measures, not tables.

Calculations: 

Product Revenue This Year: 

PRTY =

VAR

CurrentDate = [Date Reference]

RETURN

CALCULATE(SUM(Dashboards_Merch[Product Revenue]),Dashboards_Merch[Order_Year] = YEAR(CurrentDate))

Product Revenue Last Year:

PRLY =

VAR

CurrentDate = [Date Reference]

RETURN

CALCULATE(

SUM(Dashboards_Merch[Product Revenue]),

Dashboards_Merch[Order_Year] = YEAR(CurrentDate)-1

)

YoY PR: 

YoY PR = DIVIDE([PRTY], [PRLY], 0)-1

Well, if you tried that, you would probably get an error about variant data types. You would need to replace with a number like 0 or BLANK:

Measure =

  VAR __Variable = <code>

RETURN

  IF(__Variable = -1,BLANK,__Variable)

@Greg_Deckler i'm having trouble getting this to work. what am i missing here? The RETURN part throws an "unexpected expression" 

Measure =

  [YoY PR] = (DIVIDE([PRTY], [PRLY], 0)-1)

RETURN

  IF([YoY PR] = -1,BLANK,[YoY PR])

HI @ehanson2,

You can add if statement with the condition to compare with static value and return the result.

Measure =
IF([YoY PR] = -1,"New",[YoY PR]&"")

Notice: measure not support to return different type of values at the same time, if you want to use both text and numeric value, please change numeric to text first.
