Hello everyone,
I have a column that was created with DAX (hence cannot use power query) as a Text that needs to be converted to Number.
However, sometimes on this column there are non-numerical, non-roman characters as the source is taken from multiple languages around the world.
When using CONVERT function, if only in one of the rows there is a special character, all rows are changed to #Error.
I want to know if there is a function that forces the convertion (omitting or deleting the special character) or at least that changes to #Error only the row with the problem, and not the entire column.
Many thanks,
Hello,
The solution provided Did not work for the intended purpose at all.
When using it I got an error: "Expressions that yield variant data-type cannot be used to define calculated columns".
An Example of my problem, and how I would like the solution (using 0.04 as error code)
14.45 --> 14.45
14# --> 0.04
103 --> 103
$18 --> 0.04
when trying to use 0.04 instead of "Not number", all rows became 0.04
Any other idea with this?
Hi @NPbon ,
Plese try to identify the column firstly, then convert the data type, please try to create a column like below dax formula:
Column =
VAR cur_val = [Column Name]
VAR _a =
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
ISNUMBER ( cur_val ), CONVERT ( cur_val, INTEGER ),
ISNONTEXT ( cur_val ), CONVERT ( cur_val, INTEGER ),
"Not number"
)
RETURN
_a
