Hi PBI Community,
Is there a way to have a single column contain text and currency format like below? - The data source currently has "N/A" and dollar amounts. In power query it throws an error so I just replace it to contain a numeric value of 0, but wanted to see if its possible to keep the "N/A" text?
Sample Column:
$5,300,000
N/A
$1,000
N/A
etc.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Rondel ,
This seems impossible; a column can only belong to one data format. If you want to keep "N/A", then the data type can only be text.
Hope it helps!
