If Is number function

‎02-11-2019 12:21 PM

Hey guys,

 

I have a column with both text and numbers, and I need to perform a calculation only for the numbers. I have tough at

if (Value.Is(Value.FromText([ColumnOfMixedValues]), type number) then [#"PCE (ug/L)"]/165.83). Why that doesn't run?

Hi @isamchakur,

 

You need to escape the special characters in the column name. Please try this one.

if Value.Is(Value.FromText([ColumnOfMixedValues]), type number) then [#"#""PCE (ug/L)"""]/165.83 else 0

If-Is-number-function
