    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Does your regional settings have comma as decimal separator? When working with numbers and having the decimals mark as comma I have encountered that if that is matching with the comma of the parameters of functions I need to add the ,0 as part of my syntax for numbers.

     

    Believe that this is what is happening here. Using 300800003, or 300800003,0 is the same for the syntax not really sure why is happening currently with the September version but could be this.

     

    Regards,

    MFelix

Hi Anonymous 

The code the error message shows has dots instead of the necessary commas after the numbers. Could that be the problem? And it complains about "Neu", which is what comes after the first dot.

 

The syntax for '"Neu"' is incorrect. (DAX(SWITCH ( [StatusCode], 1. "Neu", 300800002. "Temporär freigegeben", 300800003. "Freigegeben", 717700000. "Finale Verrechnung", 100001. "Abgeschlossen", 717700001. "Storniert", 717700002. "Gesperrt", 4. "Blockiert", 300800000. "In Bearbeitung (Obsolet)", "Unbekannter Status"))).

Thanks AIB for your fast reply!

Good hint and observation! But as you see in my code I use commas...
I tried typing them again but still the same.
Could this be related to a Locale that is set in the options?
