Hello,
We have a fairly complex DAX formula which returns a numerical value. This works 99% of the time. There are specific instances where - due to underlying data - we cannot calculate a result. In these instances, we'd like to return a text value to notify users that 'this cannot be calculated'. Are there any text values like NaN or #N/A that can be returned in a DAX function which returns a number? If so, what are those 'text' values? Ex. If(a<0, NaN, a)
Appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks,
Dan

@dancarr22 , The expression NaN is used for signifying if there has been a division by zero. Blank() or any string value can be used.
