Pick() Match() with '>=*' condition. Is it possible?

Hi Experts,

I am trying to create a calculated condition and my requirement is something like below:

IF(Code='1A' AND Seconds >=600, 'High','Low')

Can i get it done with Pick() match() ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Anil,

I think i found it.

Please review the attached qvw and let me know your thoughts..

I used the logic:

=Count({<Code={'1a'},Time={'>=15'}>+

  <Code={'1b','1c'},Time={'>=30'}>+

  <Code={'2I','2IE','r2'},Time={'>=150'}>+

  <Code={'2a','2b'},Time={'>=210'}>+

  <Code={'r3'},Time={'>=290'}>}Measure)

I heard instead of IF condition it would better Pick + Match combination. So here, I don't notice whether the performance increased or not. But, Can you let us know how many Dimensions(In that, How may calc. dim) and expressions you are using in single object

But, I would love this only --- IF(Code='1A' AND Seconds >=600, 'High','Low')

May be try this? I've not tested but similar one

=Pick(Match(Code,'1A',Seconds,'>=600'),'High','Low')

Hi Shyam,

Can u please try with this,

=match([code]='1A','1B','1c') and match([seconds],'600','700','800')>=600,'High','low'.

In general numeric comparisons could be possible with a pick(match()) construct but you will need some preparing - maybe something like this:

pick(match(floor(Seconds/100), 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9),

     'low','low','low','low','low','low','high','high', 'high', 'high')

If this kind of checking is suitable in your case where at least one additional condition to the Code field is necessary - I don't know.

What are you trying to accomplish? Improved performance? Shorter script code?

The logical expression is too short to be replaced by two funciton calls, and whether you use an IF() or a Pick(Match()) combo, the net result is the same: chose between two cases. Typically something for an IF() call...

Pick(Match()) are better suited for situations where you have many possible comparisons which would normally end up in a nested IF() with multiple levels.

marcus_sommer‌ -  Wouldn't it be better to use Ceil instead of Floor? 650 would be floored to 6 instead of 7 and would be part of low I think

You can try like this

Pick(Match(Seconds < 600 and Code = '1A', -1, 0), 'low', 'high') as Flag;

Yes, it could be that a different rounding is needed respectively fits better. Here I intended to round 599 to 500 instead to 600 to ensure that it would be considered as >= 600.

Thank you all for your responses.

And my sincere apologies for the delay in my response. Was off to work for a couple of days.

Please see the attachment to this post.

I am trying to add a calculated dimension based on the conditions and then derive the measure/expression based on the calculated dimension.

In the Calculated dimension, I would like to see a combination values as a dimension as shown below:

My requirement...

Dimension          Measure(time condition)          All Measures

1a                              2                                        3

1b & 1c                      6                                         7

2i  & 2ie & r2              4                                        10

2a & 2b                       5                                        7

r3                                2                                        5

My Original data..

Table:

CodeTimeMeasure
1a101
1a151
1a201
1b201
1b301
1b401
1b501
1c601
1c701
1c801
2i901
2i1001
2i1101
2ie1201
2ie1301
2ie1401
r21501
r21601
r21701
r21801
2a1901
2a2001
2a2101
2b2201
2b2301
2b2401
2b2501
r32601
r32701
r32801
r32901
r33001

Condition:

IF(Code='1a' and Time  >= 15, sum(Measure),

     IF((Code='1b' Or Code='1c') and Time  >= 30, sum(Measure),

            IF((Code='2i' Or Code='2ie' Or Code='r2') and Time  >= 150, sum(Measure),

                    IF((Code='2a' Or Code='2b') and Time  >= 210, sum(Measure),

                              IF((Code='r3') and Time  >= 290, sum(Measure))

Sorry, I should have posted in my first post.

Like this? I am not sure how you are getting 4 for 2i of Measure the condition Because this may typo error / Could be logic behind. In fact, you have only 3 time which >= 15. Check and share exact output
