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
