Hi Experts
Cannot see what i am doing wrong here with the switch function using a dis connected table....
DAX
NoTrend_Significants = VAR _Trendmove = SELECTEDVALUE(_TrendDirection[Trends]) Return SWITCH(TRUE(), _Trendmove, "No Trend", [No Trend], _Trendmove, "Significant Trend", [Significant Trend], [PMSComplaintsMN] )
Error Message
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
You are trying to compare a Boolean object with a text value and hence the datatype mismatch error.
Can you try modifying the DAX expression as below,
NoTrend_Significants = SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE(_TrendDirection[Trends]), "No Trend", [No Trend], "Significant Trend", [Significant Trend], [PMSComplaintsMN] )
Hope this helps!!
Thanks,
Ani
