Translate Excel formula into PowerBI

Hello folks!

 

I want to convert the excel formula of the file attached into Power BI.

 

I tried with the following expression but didn't work out (it returned me "Expressions that yield variant data-type cannot be used to define calculated columns."):

 

Ct. Converted TEST = 
            IF (
                SALES[Ct. Pietra Principale Unitaria - Copy] < 1;
                 SALES[Ct. Pietra Principale Unitaria - Copy];
                IF (
                    SALES[Ct. Pietra Principale Unitaria - Copy]> 9000;
                    LEFT ( SALES[Ct. Pietra Principale Unitaria - Copy]; 1 ) & ","
                        & MID ( SALES[Ct. Pietra Principale Unitaria - Copy]; 2; 5 )
                )
            )

 

Just to be clear i need both formulas of the green columns into Power BI. The second one is an "approximate vlookup".

 

Thanks to all.

 

Cheers,

AS

    Var ctpietraprincipale = VALUE(SALES[Ct. Pietra Principale Unitaria])
    var secondaespressione = VALUE(LEFT(VALUE(ctpietraprincipale);1) & "," & MID(VALUE(ctpietraprincipale);3;5))
    return
    if (
    ctpietraprincipale<1;
    ctpietraprincipale;
    if( ctpietraprincipale>9000;

      Hello!

       

      It did workout, however you had to substitute "," with "."

       

      Anyhow very happy it works now. Any idea on how to get the second green column?
