Hi
I'm having a really weird issue when i try to return a unichar character from an if-function or a switch.
I recreated the problem in a new powerbi report.
I want to return ✅ when the value equals 1, and ❌ when it doesn't.
So i tried this first, which seems to be working fine:
When i substitute blank by the unichar code for ❌, it doesn't work anymore:
Neither does switch:
Did anybody else run in to this problem before?
I'm having the exact same issue, has anyone come up with a solution?
I'm on May 24 version
No, I think i just ended up using different characters.
