How to manage NaN or Infinity in PowerQuery (no Dax) ?
- 6 years ago
Thank you edhans for your answer.
So there is no native function in powerquery to valuate those kind of error... that's sad.
Thanks for the article, I'll give a try later.
By waiting I keep my methodology tant consits in checking if Numerator & denominator are not 0 before doing a division... not the smartest but at least it works.
You will need to use the Number.IsNaN, Number.PositiveInfinity, Number.NegativeInfiinity, etc. The try/otherwise construct often doesn't work with these because they are not errors - even though Excel would trap them with IFERROR().
I recommend this excellent article on this issue which goes through all of these and more functions, and includes a very helpful function at the bottom to check all of these at once.
