GENERATESERIES DAX Function Not Incrementing Correctly

Hi All

 

Can anyone explain why this series goes out of kilter at around 0.685?

Hi @SheldonEdwards

When testing in your pbix, I change your data type format as "Decimal number" instead of " General" as your original setting, it works well.

Thanks @v-juanli-msft

 

But I still get that problem, even when changing to decimal. 

 

If you increase the decimal places to maximum = 15, you will see the problem is still there. Yours was set to only 3 decimal places, so was maskingn the problem.

This is what it looks like by the end of the series.

I have updated my original PBIX file.

 

Problem is not solved.

Thanks
