Hi,
I have a column in a table that mixes several types of values. Numbers, text, symbols and null values. How can i build a separate column that has only the numeric values and ignores all the others. I've tried the following but didn't work:
if [ANSWER_VALUE] is number then [ANSWER_VALUE] else 999
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @qmest ,
Try using this in a new custom column:
Table.AddColumn(
previousStep,
"newColumnName",
each Text.Combine(
List.RemoveNulls(
List.Transform(
Text.ToList([ANSWER_VALUE]),
each if Value.Is(Value.FromText(_), type number) then _ else null
)
)
)
)

let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjQyVorViVZydHIG02AiptTAwMisLk4pNhYA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Mixed = _t]),
#"Only Numeric" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Numeric", each try Number.From([Mixed])??999 otherwise 999)
in
#"Only Numeric"
Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
