The number is out of range of a 32 bit integer value

Hi,

 

I am getting an error when I am trying to run the following code. I am trying the code to generate what {1..5} would generate.

 

= {4615443880..4615443890}

ErrorError

I know from https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Only-64-Bit-Data-Type-in-Data-Models/td-p/133635

that following are the range for different Int Category.

 

Int8: -256 - +255

Int16: -32,768 - +32,767

Int32: -2,147,483,648 – +2,147,483,647

Int64: -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 - +9,223,372,036,854,775,807

 

As per the above 4615443880 is indeed out of 32 bit range.

 

However, I also tried the following but the error remained same.

= {Int64.From(4615443880)..Int64.From(4615443890)}
let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjEzNDUxMbawMFDSgXMsDZRiYwE=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", Int64.Type}, {"Column2", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each {[Column1]..[Column2]})
in
    #"Added Custom"

Does anyone know what is the work around for this? Does Power Query list only generate values between 32 bit integers?

 

Appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.

Hi @smpa01 ,

Based on my test, you could use List.Numbers function:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/list-numbers

Hi @smpa01 ,

Based on my test, you could use GENERATESERIES function:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/generateseries-function

Table = GENERATESERIES(4615443880,4615443890)

@v-danhe-msftthank you very much for your reply.

 

Can the same be replicated using M and not DAX? I am looking for a M solution to the problem.
