I have a basic bar chart with business name as X-axis and score as Y-axis.
I have also applied some filters to restrict the data being displayed.
One of these filters used a field of type text.
However, when I changed the field to Int64.Type, the visual seemed to ignore the filter.
I have tried reapplying the filter. I have tried changing the filter from basic to advanced. I cannot get it to work.
Does anyone know what's happening? This feels like a bug.
I have the latest version of Power BI.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @AndrewPF
Text and numbers filters are behaving differently.
The text has functionalities as :
When at numbers you should use mathematical operators + logical and/or
So if you change the data type of your filter field you need to modify it according to its options.
For a more detailed explanation please attach a link to some dummy file.
