Sqrt in Column

Hello Everyone!

 

I want to calculate the SQRT of a column, I have a table like this: 

Sqr.PNG

I just need de Sqrt Value of the "P Value" column, i use the following formula: 

 

P Lote = SQRT('PQI Lote'[P Value])
P Lote = SQRT(ROUNDUP('PQI Lote'[P Value],1))
 
But I have an error in both of the calculated columns about the value being too big or two small, 
 
I would appreciate some help!

Hi @Anonymous 

 

The problem lies in the data type used for this calculated value

I recreated your scenario and below is the formula I would use.

P Lote = SQRT(VALUE('PQI Lote'[P Value]))

 

Below is the ouput I get:

Hi @Anonymous,

 

What is the Error? 

Also just to make sure your [P Value] column is of type Decimal?



I hope this helps,
Richard

This should work. Can you share a sample PBIX file with us? 

Hi @Anonymous,

 

This is very likely a data type issue, please ensure that your P Value column is of type decimail or currency



I hope this helps,
Richard

P Lote = ROUNDUP(SQRT('PQI Lote'[Z Value]),1)
