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
