Hello,
I'm facing a problem when I am trying to convert my data into a decimal number.
My actual data is tagged as a text but PBI does not seem to take in count that I was using the correct format in Excel before the import.
I have already search for blanks but this is not the issue.
I need PBI to take in count decimal in order to produce diagrams and avoid the field "Count of ..."
How can I solve this ?
Thank you
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous , Open Power Query, Before the first change data type step, use clean and trim

If needed replacevalues
And they overwrite the datatype step and change datatype to decimal
Thank you it is solved.
Now when I try to do visuals I can not mutualize my data.
Indeed I have two data types in different tables :
- Power which is part of energy table
- Noise which is part of noise table
Therefore I want to mutualize both depending on the collected date but both tables have their own collected date and only one is being printed.
I have already tried to introduce cardinality and manage relationship but it did not work.
