Min/MAX column with numeric maximum value
Hello all,
I am trying to add a cusom column to calculate the Max and Min for 3 columns(More in the future). Issue is that the data is alphanumeric for Cancelled values. So when I try it, I get the maximum value in letters. Is there anyway to get the highest numeric value as the Max, in this situation. Here is the sample table I am trying to work on.
As you can see, I get the MAX as "Cancelled", but I am trying to get "23" as the result.
I am using this basic DAX -
List.Max ({[D1],[D2],[D3]})
I am rather new to this, so I might be asking something very simple. Any assistance is much appreciated. Thank you,
Binara
