Datatype variant
Hello everybody!
I have two columns. A text column with different colors in it and a number column with values.
When i build the IF function there is the error message:
Can not use expressions that return the variant data type to define computed columns.
IF-Funtion:
= IF(table1[COLOR]="BLACK";table1[VALUE]*(-1);table1[COLOR])
I tried many different opportunities and i cant find the answer.
With kind regards
Jonas
Hi everybody!
I solved the problem on my own.
Instead of writing *(-1) in the IF function, write a new measure with "-1".
The new IF function than is:
= IF(table1[COLOR]="BLACK";table1[VALUE]*([Measure];table1[COLOR])
With kind regards
