Hi,
I calculated a column:
Orders with standard factor = IF('Fact_UM'[Factor] >'Fact_UM'[Standrad factor], 'Fact_UM '[Menge])
I would like to add that if standard factor is blank than column will show "no data" in that row.

Hi @Anonymous ,
Due to the limitations of calculated columns, using calculated columns will result in an error of "Expressions that yield variant data-type cannot be used to define calculated columns", it is recommended that you change the measure values and display them as a visual in the table.

Measure = IF(SUM('Table'[Column])==BLANK(),"no data",SUM('Table'[Column]))
(2)Then the result is as follows.
