Error in formula Result within specification

Dear all,

 

I have a weird error in PowerBI desktop and I hope someone can help me.

 

I'm creating a report with laboratory results and I want to add a # before the result is a result is not within specification.

The table contains: Result, Contol high, Control low and I use the following formula:

U_RPT_VALUE_SPECS = IF(RESULT[U_RPT_VALUE]>=RESULT[U_CONTROL_LOW] && RESULT[U_RPT_VALUE]<= RESULT[U_CONTROL_HIGH];RESULT[U_RPT_VALUE];"# "&RESULT[U_RPT_VALUE])

This works very good, except for the 3 last rows in the matrix table.

First column are the specification: Control = RESULT[U_CONTROL_LOW]&"-"& RESULT[U_CONTROL_HIGH]

Second column contains the first set of results, and the second column the second set.

 

As you can see the last 3 values are not correct interpretated by the formula.

 

Do I miss something?

 

Thank in advance

    ok, solution was simple.

    The result table was set as TEXT and not as Number.

     

    Converted the values to Numbers and it works great.

     

    For someone who needs a script to check if a value is within specification:

    U_RPT_VALUE_SPECS = IF(RESULT[U_CONTROL_LOW]="";RESULT[U_RPT_VALUE];(IF(RESULT[VALUE]>=value(RESULT[U_CONTROL_LOW]) && RESULT[VALUE]<= value(RESULT[U_CONTROL_HIGH]);RESULT[U_RPT_VALUE];"# "&RESULT[U_RPT_VALUE])))
