Hello Community
I need to create a column based on an international encoding called ISIC that goes something like this:
CIIU
0990
1850
0114
3311
4560
I'm creating the column with the following code:
The column is throwing me the error of not being able to compare text-like values as integer values, but, as you can see in the example, there are codes that start with zero '0' and therefore I cannot transform the data to numbers. What do you recommend for this case?
Solved! Go to Solution.
VAR theCI = VALUE(VR_PBI_COMERCIANTES[CIIU1])
Hi @juandroid ,
I think I understand what you mean, your error is that the CIIU column is in text format, so an error occurred when running the formula. You should use VALUE() to turn your text into numbers and then compare them.
Should be modified to

VAR theCI = VALUE(VR_PBI_COMERCIANTES[CIIU1])
Create a variable using VALUE(theField) and use that in the comparisons.
It means less typing too.
The last line of the switch is using a different field. Correct?
I don't quite understand your answer, could you please explain a little more?
I think this should work if you change the "&" after 4911 to "&&".
