Does anyone know how to convert code using Coalesce ?
Thanks for your support.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Here's an example of how the code can be converted using Coalesce:
VAR result = DIVIDE ( COALESCE ( [col1], BLANK() ), COALESCE ( [col2], BLANK() ) ) - 1 RETURN result
Coalesce is a function that returns the first non-blank value in a list of expressions. In this case, it's being used to replace the ISBLANK function. The result will be the same as the original code but using a different function.
