DAX - PowerBI does not recognize Boolean Column

Hi,

I've a table from my sql dedicated pool in Azure Synapse (SQL Server 12) with all the version of applications in our server, date and obsolence (boolean).

The "Obsolescense" field is declared as BIT in my DDL and my report reads from this table.

 

The problem is that when I check the numbers from sql queries 
select count(*) from applications_table where obsoleted = 0 /1 

and the measure in dax which I use :

Application supported count =
VAR c = COUNTROWS(FILTER( <table_application>,<table_application['obsoleted'] = FALSE()))
return IF(ISBLANK(c),0,c)
 
They don't match.
- I've tried to reload several times the source
- Checked in PowerBI if the datatype of obsoleted field is True / False
- No filters modify the filter context
 
Does PowerBI have some problem with Recognizing True / False from SQL server ?
Need Help

    "They don't match." - Are you getting errors or is the value mismatched by a certain amount?  I think we need to find that out first.

    Is the data imported?

    Can you show us a picture of the data view in powerbi with the column selected? Maybe also one from Power Query ?
