Conversion Issue

Anonymous — Thu, 17 Mar 2022 06:36:16 GMT

Hi Microsoft Team,

I am getting an error as follows
"Cannot Convert value 'Australia' of type text to type True/false.

The measure is as follows:

Comparable Left =

Var _a_left_value=CALCULATE([SP], FILTER('Store',Store[RUName]))

return

_a_left_value

Note: [SP] is a measure

Help me to overcome that error

Hi Anonymous
you need to complete this filter condition here

something like FILTER('Store',Store[RUName] = "Australia") etc. or whatever filter condition you want to put here.

Aditya

Hi Aditya,
I have few tables - Date, Store, Item , product tables

From Date Table - Date(YEAR), Date(Month)
From Store Table - Store(RUName)

From Item Table - Item(itemName)
From Product Table - Product(ProductName)
And Now I have one Measure ie., [SP]

I am trying to retrieve the [SP] data with all above filter values

Can I get some logic , how I can pass all those filters in DAX

Hi Anonymous ,

Try this:

Comparable Left = var selection = Selectedvalue(Store[RUName])

Var _a_left_value=CALCULATE([SP], FILTER('Store',Store[RUName]=selection ))

return

_a_left_value

Hi Truptis,

After trying the below code also,
Comparable Left = var selection = Selectedvalue(Store[RUName])
I was getting this error ""Cannot Convert value 'Australia' of type text to type True/false."

Any other logic please?

Hi Anonymous ,

Suppose you need to retrieve the following table using those filters.

If the table has created relationships with other tables, then you can filter directly.

If there is no relationship between theses tables, please create the following measure.

Measure = CALCULATE ( [SP], FILTER ( 'Table 2', 'Table 2'[Date] IN ALLSELECTED ( 'Date'[Date] ) && 'Table 2'[item] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Item'[itemName] ) && 'Table 2'[Product] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Product'[ProductName] ) && 'Table 2'[RU] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Store[RUName] ) ) )

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
