“DAX comparison operations do not support comparing values of type Integer with values of type Text.

[Saxon10]

I have two tables one is data and another one is report.

Data Table:

In data table the following columns are Item, A1, B1 and C1, item column stored as a text and remaining columns are (A1, A2,A3) are stored as a number.

ITEM      A1          A2          A3

123        10           20           30

124        40           50           60

125        70           80           90

126        100        110        120

127        130        140        150

128        160        170        180

129        190        200        210

130        220        230        240

131        250        260        270

Report Table:

In Report table contain item column and it’s stored as a text.

ITEM	A1	B1	C1	STATUS
123	10	20	30	#ERROR
124	40	50	60	#ERROR
12				#ERROR
1323				#ERROR
12				#ERROR
1567				#ERROR
125	70	80	90	#ERROR
4677				#ERROR
6232				#ERROR

Relationship:

In between two tables the item column are common.

Result

I already pull the data (A1, A2 and A3) into report table according to the item.

I would like to build the status based on the 3 columns – A1, A2 and A3 but I am receiving the following error when I try to attempt switch function “DAX comparison operations do not support comparing values of type Integer with values of type Text. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values”.

Can you please advise were I need to modify the DAX formula? In lookup value function or switch function/?

A1 = LOOKUPVALUE(DATA[A1],DATA[ITEM],REPORT[ITEM])

B1 = LOOKUPVALUE(DATA[A2],DATA[ITEM],REPORT[ITEM])

C1 = LOOKUPVALUE(DATA[A3],DATA[ITEM],REPORT[ITEM])

STATUS = SWITCH(TRUE(),REPORT[A1]=0,"Not Okay", REPORT[A1]="","Not okay",REPORT[B1]=0,"Not Okay",REPORT[B1]="","Not Okay",REPORT[C1]=0,"Not Okay",REPORT[C1]="","Not Okay",REPORT[A1]>0,"Okay",REPORT[B1]>0,"Okay",REPORT[C1]>0,"okay")

It was the line REPORT[A1]="".  "" is a string, you have to use BLANK()

STATUS =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    REPORT[A1] = 0, "Not Okay",
    REPORT[A1] = BLANK (), "Not okay",
    REPORT[B1] = 0, "Not Okay",
    REPORT[B1] = BLANK (), "Not Okay",
    REPORT[C1] = 0, "Not Okay",
    REPORT[C1] = BLANK (), "Not Okay",
    REPORT[A1] > 0, "Okay",
    REPORT[B1] > 0, "Okay",
    REPORT[C1] > 0, "okay"
)
