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

I keep getting the error message DAX comparison operations do not support comparing values of type Integer with values of type Text when entering the formula below into PBI. I have amended the format of the columns to both be 'Whole number' but it still won't work. Can anyone help please!? 
 
Column = if(or('Opps+Products - Revenue Probability'[Contract Length (months)]="",'Opps+Products - Revenue Probability'[Contract Length (months)]=0),12,'Opps+Products - Revenue Probability'[Contract Length (months)])

    Hi timward10 
    "" is a "white space" in which the data type is a text...
    Try to modify the formula to 
    Column = if(isblank(or('Opps+Products - Revenue Probability'[Contract Length (months)]),'Opps+Products - Revenue Probability'[Contract Length (months)]=0),12,'Opps+Products - Revenue Probability'[Contract Length (months)])
    OR
    Column = if(or('Opps+Products - Revenue Probability'[Contract Length (months)]=blank(),'Opps+Products - Revenue Probability'[Contract Length (months)]=0),12,'Opps+Products - Revenue Probability'[Contract Length (months)])
    if it won't work 

    Please share sample data (excluding sensitive information) in text format, along with your expected result and any relevant logic. For guidance, refer to
