Power BI - Formula Error

Hi,

We are getting unexpected result (always 0) when trying to multiplicate an integer value by a decimal value.
Our Power BI Desktop is connected through direct query to an AWS Redshift database.

 

The scenario looks like this:

We have two tables (Sales and Products)

 

SALES  
Order IDProduct IDQtd Sales
112000
223000
324000
411000

 

 

Product  
Product IDProduct NamePrice Per Unit
1Milk0,0735
2Ice Cream0,0531
3Candies0,0135


Sales and product are related by Product ID column.
Then we are trying to create a new column on that will be the result of multiplication beetwen Qtd Sales and Price Per Unit. The formula looks like this: Billing = Sales[Qtd Sales] * RELATED(Product[Price Per Unit])
One interesting thing about this problem is that when we change the connection from direct to import, everything works fine.

 

Any suggestion?

 

Tks all

      Hi Anonymous , 

      Yes, I tried it.

      It still returns zero for everything.

       

      That sounds like a bug.

       

       

      Tks
