Hello,
i changed my data source folder and i keep getting the below error, any ideas what this is?
Too few arguments were passed to the SWITCH function. The minimum argument count for the function is 3. OLE DB or ODBC error: Type mismatch. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020005 (DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH)).
Hi @mmills2018 ,
Check whether the data type of the field has changed after the data source is updated, for example, SUM ('Talent Snapshot'[PME USA Headcount]), the sum can only calculate the numeric type, and if'[PME USA Headcount] becomes Text, there will be a type mismatch.
Best Regards,
Liu Yang

Hey @mmills2018 ,
can you post the measure that contains the SWITCH function?
It's a little hard to say where the error happens without any details...
Best regards
Denis
pretty much all my measures are using the switch function, below is one of the measures. I am just confused as to why i would get this when changing the folder source, the data itself did not change
