i have a field parameter that returns the results of two metrics. is there a method to display the sum of the parameter metric selected? 

 

I tried to perform the sum of the parameters, but it says it's a string field.

Hi @NewbieJono 

 

Could you please provide some raw data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples? It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following links to share the required info:

And It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.
