Date parameter report builder format

[Foguete]

Hello,

I am currently using a query with a Power BI dataset with a date parameter.

When I configure the parameter as Text I don't have any problem but when I configure it as a Date and Time, I got the following error:

Query (1, 106) DAX comparison operations do not support comparing values ​​of type Date with values ​​of type Text. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values.

I believe I should modify my DAX query but I have no idea how. Could someone explain to me the way to handle this type of issue ?

My query so far:

DEFINE VAR vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1 = IF(PATHLENGTH(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC) = 1, IF(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC <> "", @FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, BLANK()), IF(PATHITEM(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, 2) <> "", PATHITEM(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, 2), BLANK()))
VAR vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1ALL = PATHLENGTH(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC) > 1 && PATHITEM(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, 1, 1) < 1
EVALUATE SUMMARIZECOLUMNS('Informe Stock Delegación'[JDFEC], 'Informe Stock Delegación'[Compañia], 'Informe Stock Delegación'[TOTAL PALLETS_STOCK], RSCustomDaxFilter(@InformeStockDelegaciF3nCompaF1ia,EqualToCondition,[Informe Stock Delegación].[Compañia],String), FILTER(VALUES('Informe Stock Delegación'[JDFEC]), (vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1ALL || 'Informe Stock Delegación'[JDFEC] >= DATEVALUE(vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1) + TIMEVALUE(vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1))))

Thanks

Just in case it might be usefull for someone, here is what makes it work:

DEFINE VAR vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1 = IF(PATHLENGTH(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC) = 1, IF(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC <> "", @FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, BLANK()), IF(PATHITEM(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, 2) <> "", PATHITEM(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, 2), BLANK()))
VAR vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1ALL = PATHLENGTH(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC) > 1 && PATHITEM(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, 1, 1) < 1
EVALUATE SUMMARIZECOLUMNS('Informe Stock Delegación'[JDFEC], 'Informe Stock Delegación'[Compañia], 'Informe Stock Delegación'[TOTAL PALLETS_STOCK], RSCustomDaxFilter(@InformeStockDelegaciF3nCompaF1ia,EqualToCondition,[Informe Stock Delegación].[Compañia],String), FILTER(VALUES('Informe Stock Delegación'[JDFEC]), (vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1ALL || 'Informe Stock Delegación'[JDFEC] >= DATEVALUE(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC) + TIMEVALUE("00:00:00"))))

Hi @Foguete ,

This is because in your dax formula that comparing values ​​of type Date with values ​​of type Text, you need add a function to transform data type.

Please try to use Format() function to convert data type.

For more details, you can read related document: FORMAT - DAX Guide

Hello, 

Thanks for the answer but I am not really sure about how to apply the modification.

So far I have been modifying the query for something like this using FORMAT()  (modification in red):

DEFINE VAR

    vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1 =

        IF(

            PATHLENGTH(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC) = 1,

            IF(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC <> "", @FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, BLANK()),

            IF(PATHITEM(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, 2) <> "", PATHITEM(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, 2), BLANK())

        )

VAR

    vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1ALL =

        PATHLENGTH(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC) > 1 && PATHITEM(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, 1, 1) < 1

EVALUATE

    SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(

        FORMAT('Informe Stock Delegación'[JDFEC], "dd/mm/yyyy"), 'Informe Stock Delegación'[Compañia], 'Informe Stock Delegación'[TOTAL PALLETS_STOCK],

        RSCustomDaxFilter(@InformeStockDelegaciF3nCompaF1ia,EqualToCondition,[Informe Stock Delegación].[Compañia],String),

        FILTER(VALUES('Informe Stock Delegación'[JDFEC]), (vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1ALL || 'Informe Stock Delegación'[JDFEC] >= DATEVALUE(vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1) + TIMEVALUE(vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1))))

It is giving me error, and I am not sure if it is my syntax or the position of my modification which is throwing error...

Hi @Foguete ,

You modify position is not correct, please try below modification (see red color part):

DEFINE VAR

    vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1 =

        IF(

            PATHLENGTH(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC) = 1,

            IF(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC <> "", @FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, BLANK()),

            IF(PATHITEM(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, 2) <> "", PATHITEM(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, 2), BLANK())

        )

VAR

    vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1ALL =

        PATHLENGTH(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC) > 1 && PATHITEM(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, 1, 1) < 1

EVALUATE

    SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(

        'Informe Stock Delegación'[JDFEC], 'Informe Stock Delegación'[Compañia], 'Informe Stock Delegación'[TOTAL PALLETS_STOCK],

        RSCustomDaxFilter(@InformeStockDelegaciF3nCompaF1ia,EqualToCondition,[Informe Stock Delegación].[Compañia],String),

        FILTER(VALUES('Informe Stock Delegación'[JDFEC]), (vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1ALL || FORMAT('Informe Stock Delegación'[JDFEC], "dd/mm/yyyy") >= DATEVALUE(vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1) + TIMEVALUE(vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1))))

Thanks, but your code is throwing the following error:

Query (5, 16) DAX comparison operations do not support comparing values ​​of type Date with values ​​of type Text. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values.

Do you have any idea where could it come from ?

Hi @Foguete ,

Please try below:

DEFINE VAR

    vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1 =

        IF(

            PATHLENGTH(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC) = 1,

            IF(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC <> "", @FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, BLANK()),

            IF(PATHITEM(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, 2) <> "", PATHITEM(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, 2), BLANK())

        )

VAR

    vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1ALL =

        PATHLENGTH(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC) > 1 && PATHITEM(@FromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC, 1, 1) < 1

EVALUATE

    SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(

        'Informe Stock Delegación'[JDFEC], 'Informe Stock Delegación'[Compañia], 'Informe Stock Delegación'[TOTAL PALLETS_STOCK],

        RSCustomDaxFilter(@InformeStockDelegaciF3nCompaF1ia,EqualToCondition,[Informe Stock Delegación].[Compañia],String),

        FILTER(VALUES('Informe Stock Delegación'[JDFEC]), (vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1ALL || DATEVALUE('Informe Stock Delegación'[JDFEC]) >= DATEVALUE(vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1) + TIMEVALUE(vFromInformeStockDelegaciF3nJDFEC1))))

Hi @Anonymous, 
Unfortunately no, still the same message. I am also looking into it but cannot find the solution either
