Hi,
I have a calculated column that is outputting inconsistent results.
This is the column:
CALCULATE(MAX('Assigned Assessors'[Assessor ID]),FILTER('Assigned Assessors','Assigned Assessors'[Assessor Type]="A"),FILTER('Assigned Assessors',AND('Assigned Assessors'[Active Assessor]=true(),'Assigned Assessors'[Trainee ID]='Assigned Visits'[Trainee ID])))95% of the time this produces a value correctly however on some accounts the link filter is resulting in a blank value
'Assigned Assessors'[Trainee ID]='Assigned Visits'[Trainee ID]
Below is an example of this inconsistency. The trainee ID on both tables match, the Active Assessor is set to True and Assessor Type is A but its not producing the expected Assessor ID against Julie Shawcroft.
I've tripled checked all my code and I can't see why no value would be produced. Can you give me any pointers?
This might be caused by invisible characters. Check each filter in the CALCULATE Function.
Hi Sam,
it appears to be the trainee id = trainee id filter that is making it blank. The problem is this needed because it creates the connection between the two tables.
Is there a way to exclude invisible characters?
