Hi, I have a column in direct query mode which is of type string. I cannot change the data type of the column.

The column has two values, either a number or null.

How can I create a DAX measure which checks the value and if its a number then retain the same,else if its a null then consider it as 0?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Try VALUE function. It converts a text string that represents a number to a number.

Measure = VALUE(MAX('Table_2'[num]))+0

I use DirectQuery to connect SQL Server.

Create a measure along the lines of:

Measure 1 = SUM(Table[column]) + 0

The column is of type Text/String so SUM wont work right

Try:

Measure 1 = IF(ISBLANK(MAX(Table[Column])), 0, MAX(Table[Column]))
