Number Formatting - need to represent "less than" (recognized as Text)

I am looking for a suggestion about the formatting of a number/currency column in my data set.

 

I am using a slicer to show tiered pricing, but I believe the special characer is not recoginizing the column as a Number.  I believe my problem is with the representation <$10,000.

 

Any suggestion how I can represent "less than" $10,000 and still have the column recognized as a number?

 

Thanks.

@Anonymous,

 

Do you have the value <$10,000 in your dataset? I have test it on my local environment, the expression below is for you reference.
Column = IF(ISERROR(VALUE(Table1[Value])),Table1[Value],IF(VALUE(Table1[Value])<20000,"10000~20000",">20000"))

If this is not what you want, please provide us some sample data and elaborate your expected result, so that we can make further analysis.

Do a replace of < $10,000 with $9,999? Then, you could always creat a measure that essentially translated it back if necessary.

@Greg_Deckler

 

Can you add some more detail about how to write the statement in the table?

 

As always, I really appreciate and value your help.

I'm not sure what statement in the table means. If you are in the Query Editor, click on the column, right-click and choose "Replace values..."

 

In the data model, actually, a calculated column would probably work better:

 

Column = IF([MyColumn]<10000,"< $10,000",CONCATENATE([Column],""))

This is the result:

 

DAX comparison operations do not support comparing values of type Text with values of type Integer. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values.

That's because your column is Text. Just cast it into a number in your Query.
