Conversion Issue

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 ,

 

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

 

vkkfmsft_0-1647937753030.png


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.

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 
you need to complete this filter condition here 

Aditya_Meshram_2-1647501967778.png

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