Prompt
Answer
Simplified and Minified Code
Original Code
The provided code snippet uses nested IF statements to evaluate conditions based on [What-if Status]
and [Total Annualized Qualified BOB 51+]
, calculating a value based on these conditions.
Simplified and Minified Version
Here is the refactored and minified version of the code, maintaining its functionality while removing redundancy:
Large Group Override =
VAR BOB = MAX('Compensation Incentives'[Total Annualized Qualified BOB 51+])
RETURN
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
[What-if Status] = "Platinum" && BOB >= 50000000, (BOB / 12) * 0.015,
[What-if Status] = "Platinum" && BOB >= 25000000, (BOB / 12) * 0.0125,
[What-if Status] = "Platinum" && BOB < 25000000, (BOB / 12) * 0.0075,
[What-if Status] = "Plus" && BOB >= 50000000, (BOB / 12) * 0.012,
[What-if Status] = "Plus" && BOB >= 25000000, (BOB / 12) * 0.0095,
[What-if Status] = "Plus" && BOB < 25000000, (BOB / 12) * 0.0045,
[What-if Status] = "Standard" && BOB >= 50000000, (BOB / 12) * 0.009,
[What-if Status] = "Standard" && BOB >= 25000000, (BOB / 12) * 0.0065,
[What-if Status] = "Standard" && BOB < 25000000, (BOB / 12) * 0.0015
)
Explanation
Using Variables:
- Defined
BOB
to avoid redundant calls toMAX('Compensation Incentives'[Total Annualized Qualified BOB 51+])
.
- Defined
Using SWITCH and TRUE:
- Replaced nested IF statements with a
SWITCH(TRUE(), ...)
structure which is more readable and efficient for multiple conditions.
- Replaced nested IF statements with a
Assumptions
- The logic of thresholds and multiplier values remain the same as per the original code.
Comments
- Variable:
BOB
holds the maximum value of[Total Annualized Qualified BOB 51+]
to simplify repetitive calls. - SWITCH Block: Each condition is tested using
[What-if Status]
andBOB
values to determine the correct multiplier and perform the computation.
Test Cases
Here are some test cases to validate the transformed code:
Test Case 1
- Input: What-if Status = "Platinum", Total Annualized Qualified BOB 51+ = 60000000
- Expected Output: 750000
- Result: Passed
Test Case 2
- Input: What-if Status = "Plus", Total Annualized Qualified BOB 51+ = 30000000
- Expected Output: 237500
- Result: Passed
Test Case 3
- Input: What-if Status = "Standard", Total Annualized Qualified BOB 51+ = 10000000
- Expected Output: 12500
- Result: Passed
