Error cannot convert value of type text to type true false
hello all,
Can yo please explain logic of error.
Measure is:
HI answeriver ,
- First thing is try to use DIVIDE dax function to do your calculation.
- Break-down your measure to variables
- I think the sytax error is on your ALLEXCEPT function. You have closed the bracket for this function too early.
Your syntax error is somehwere in this part of DAX:
ALLEXCEPT(
REPORT_IMS, 'REPORT_IMS'[CITY], REPORT_IMS[REGION (groups)], REPORT_IMS[VISIT MONTH]
), // you have closed the ALLEXCEPT clause hereREPORT_IMS[VISIT YEAR],'Attributes','Attributes'[type contract] // this is the line with error I guess
Question for you: What you are trying to achieve here with the line of code above?
You will have to correct your DAX something like this:
= CALCULATE( DISTINCTCOUNT(REPORT_IMS[SALEPOINT CODE]) ) / CALCULATE( DISTINCTCOUNT(REPORT_IMS[SALEPOINT CODE]), ALLEXCEPT( REPORT_IMS, 'REPORT_IMS'[CITY], REPORT_IMS[REGION (groups)], REPORT_IMS[VISIT MONTH], REPORT_IMS[VISIT YEAR] ), ALLEXCEPT( 'Attributes','Attributes'[type contract] ) )Check if the above DAX works. Make sure to write your DAX as clean as possible - specially the closing and opening brackets.

Thank you Pragati11.
My fault with ). Actualy i need to count count of salepoint code devide on total salepoint cod with filters ALLEXCEPT. Measure from you is working without errors, but filter "type contract" whatever don't showing needs results.
Measure 5 = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(REPORT_IMS[SALEPOINT CODE]))/CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(REPORT_IMS[SALEPOINT CODE]),ALLEXCEPT(REPORT_IMS,'REPORT_IMS'[CITY],REPORT_IMS[REGION (groups)],REPORT_IMS[VISIT MONTH],REPORT_IMS[VISIT YEAR],REPORT_IMS[UNIVERSE]),ALLEXCEPT(Attributes,Attributes[Type of Contract]))Measure 7 = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(REPORT_IMS[SALEPOINT CODE]))Measure 8 = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(REPORT_IMS[SALEPOINT CODE]),ALLEXCEPT(REPORT_IMS,'REPORT_IMS'[CITY],REPORT_IMS[REGION (groups)],REPORT_IMS[VISIT MONTH],REPORT_IMS[VISIT YEAR],REPORT_IMS[UNIVERSE]),ALLEXCEPT(Attributes,Attributes[Type of Contract]))

HI answeriver ,
Please create a new thread for this if this is something different to the syntax error issue that you raised.
