dax comparison operations do not support comparing values of type integer with values of type text

Dear

 

I get "dax comparison operations do not support comparing values of type integer with values of type text" error for below measure.

Can you please advise why..? both "Application ID" and "Interview" are numbers..

 

# KPI1 B All genders_Nordic2 = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('TA_Candidates interview_gender'[Application ID]),FILTER('TA_Candidates interview_gender', 'TA_Candidates interview_gender'[Interviews] = "2"||"3"||"4"||"5"||"6"))

 

Thank you!

  • KatkaS , Try like

     

    # KPI1 B All genders_Nordic2 = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('TA_Candidates interview_gender'[Application ID]),FILTER('TA_Candidates interview_gender', 'TA_Candidates interview_gender'[Interviews]

    in { "2","3","4","5","6"}))

     

    or

     

     

     

    # KPI1 B All genders_Nordic2 = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('TA_Candidates interview_gender'[Application ID]),FILTER('TA_Candidates interview_gender', 'TA_Candidates interview_gender'[Interviews]

    in { 2,3,4,5,6}))

  • Hi KatkaS ,

    Filter(...,[..] = "2" || "3"|| "4"|| "5" || "6") in the formula is not correct. When you use "" to quote numbers, it would be text "2"not number 2 so it return comparsion errors.

     

    In addition, if you want to filter some numbers in a collection {2,3,4,5,6}, just write it directly like Filter(..,[..] in {2,3,4,5,6}) instead of using ||, the formula using || would be like:

    Filter(..,[..] = 2 || [..] = 3 || [..] = 4 || [..] = 5 || [..] = 6)

      Thank you!

      I didn't know that "" are for text only.. (but I actually tried with text, "" and ||, but it didn't work either).

      But {} brackets work!
