Cannot Convert value of type text to type True/False

Hi, 

 

I am getting below error message when I use the measure,

"Cannot Convert value of type text to type True/False"

 

I have 2 calculated fields, 1 New column and 1 new measure as below

New Column:
Volume_Cal = IF(TRIM('Orders'[DOCUMENTID])="Not MVI",'Orders'[ACCOUNTID],'Orders'[DOCUMENTID]) 

Data Type: Text


New Measure:
Volume = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Orders'[Volume_Cal]),FILTER('Orders','Orders'[PROCESS] in {"Posted","Credit", "Open Items"} && ('Orders'[DOCUMENTTYPE] = "AB" || (TRIM(NOT('Orders'[DOCUMENTSTATUS])) in {"Ready Validation", "Not MVI"} || ISBLANK(TRIM('Orders'[DOCUMENTSTATUS]))) && 'Orders'[Open Status] ="In Process")))

Data Type: Whole Number

 

The column value looks good, but the measure value is throwing an error as mentioned.

Similar kind of calculations I have used before but I never get such error.

 

Can anayone help me in resolving this issue.

A quick help would be much appreciated.

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    I think it may be the position of your NOT function which is causing the problem.
    Try this instead (not tested):

    Volume =
CALCULATE(
    DISTINCTCOUNT( 'Orders'[Volume_Cal] ),
    FILTER(
        'Orders',
        'Orders'[PROCESS] IN { "Posted", "Credit", "Open Items" }
            && (
                'Orders'[DOCUMENTTYPE] = "AB"
                    || (
                        NOT ( TRIM( 'Orders'[DOCUMENTSTATUS] ) IN { "Ready Validation", "Not MVI" } )
                            || ISBLANK( TRIM( 'Orders'[DOCUMENTSTATUS] ) )
                    )
                        && 'Orders'[Open Status] = "In Process"
            )
    )
)

     

    Best regards,

    I doubt the position of not, check and  try

    Volume = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Orders'[Volume_Cal])
,FILTER('Orders',
		'Orders'[PROCESS] in {"Posted","Credit", "Open Items"} 
			&& ('Orders'[DOCUMENTTYPE] = "AB" 
			|| (NOT(TRIM(('Orders'[DOCUMENTSTATUS])) in {"Ready Validation", "Not MVI"} )
			|| ISBLANK(TRIM('Orders'[DOCUMENTSTATUS]))) 
			&& 'Orders'[Open Status] ="In Process")))

      Thanks a lot.

      You are correct. "NOT" function is causing the issue.

      Now I have changed it to NOT(TRIM( 'ORDERS' [DOCUMENTSTATUS])).
