Expression that yeild variant data-type error

Hi All,

 

Need your help with below data type where I'm getting error when trying to apply a dax on Met as a conditional column. 

 

Sample Data: 

OPENED_DATE_CSTRESTORED_DATE_CSTCLOSED_DATE_CSTTICKET_STATETTR_HoursTarget (Hours)Days to Due DateMet
12/1/21 12:02 AM12/2/21 12:39 PM12/7/21 12:41 PMClosed12.83168.007.00

When I created a calculated column for last condition to avoid addition of dates then received another error:

Try

Met =
IF (
    'AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[TICKET_STATE] = "Cancel",
    "NA",
    IF (
        OR (
            'AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[TICKET_STATE] = "Closed",
            'AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[TICKET_STATE] = "Ready to Close"
        ),
        IF (
            'AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[TTR_Hours] <= 'AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[Target (Hours)],
            "1"
        ),
        IF (
            'AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[OPENED_DATE_CST] + 'AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[Days to Due Date]
                > TODAY (),
            "TBD",
            "0"
        )
    )

Hi @johnt75 , 

 

Please see below formula for GreaterThanOpenDue column. basically I then tried creating to avoid last calculation of dates 

 

Met =
    IF('AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[TICKET_STATE]="Cancel","NA",
    IF(OR(
        'AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[TICKET_STATE]="Closed",
        'AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[TICKET_STATE]="Ready to Close"),
        IF('AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[TTR_Hours]<='AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[Target (Hours)],1),
        IF('AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[OPENED_DATE_CST]+'AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[Days to Due Date]>TODAY(),"TBD",0))

Try

Met =
IF (
    'AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[TICKET_STATE] = "Cancel",
    "NA",
    IF (
        OR (
            'AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[TICKET_STATE] = "Closed",
            'AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[TICKET_STATE] = "Ready to Close"
        ),
        IF (
            'AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[TTR_Hours] <= 'AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[Target (Hours)],
            "1"
        ),
        IF (
            'AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[OPENED_DATE_CST] + 'AOTS Daily CSL 54 1'[Days to Due Date]
                > TODAY (),
            "TBD",
            "0"
        )
    )
)

Your calculated column would return either text or an integer depending on which condition is met, that's not allowed. Instead of returning 0 or 1 return "0" or "1".

For the second error, you need to check the type of the GreaterThanOpenDue column. If that is a boolean column then you need to remove the " around True in the IF statement.
