Error Cannot convert value of type Text to type True/False.

Hi!

 

I'm try to use "countifs" excel funciont in PowerBi.

 

I used this: 

Concluído? = Calculate(
COUNTROWS(BASE_PEDIDO),
BASE_PEDIDO[STATUS] = "CONCLUIDO", BASE_PEDIDO[ID_ATENDIMENTO])

But the Power Bi return this erro "Cannot convert value 'XXXXX' of type Text to type True/False."

Can anyone help me?

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

It’s my pleasure to answer for you.

According to your description, I think you can check the type of the column ‘BASE_PEDIDO[ID_ATENDIMENTO]’.

Like this:

If the column isn’t logical type , it can’t be used directly in calculate expression. You can try BASE_PEDIDO[ID_ATENDIMENTO] = "XXXX".

 

If it doesn’t solve your problem, please feel free to ask me.

 

Best Regards

Hi,

@Anonymous , Either you should check the value for BASE_PEDIDO[ID_ATENDIMENTO]  or remove it

 

Concluído? = Calculate(
COUNTROWS(BASE_PEDIDO),
BASE_PEDIDO[STATUS] = "CONCLUIDO", BASE_PEDIDO[ID_ATENDIMENTO] = "??")

 

or

 

Concluído? = Calculate(
COUNTROWS(BASE_PEDIDO),
BASE_PEDIDO[STATUS] = "CONCLUIDO")

Hi!

 

Sorry, this is the name of my column.

 

 

 

Hi,

If that is a column, then you must give a criteria such as BASE_PEDIDO[ID_ATENDIMENTO]="XYZ"
