Test for whole number?

Hello,

Is there a better way to test for a whole number than the below? I can't help but think there simply HAS to be a built-in function?

 

= if Number.Mod([Task ID], 1) = 0 then true else false

Hi @michellepace ,

You can create a custom column like this:

= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if [Task ID] = Int64.From([Task ID]) then true else false)

You can use Value.Is:

 

Table.AddColumn(PriorStep, "Whole Number", each Value.Is([Task ID], Int64.Type))

 

Or if you need it as a filter, you can also use "if" syntax

if Value.Is([Task ID], Int64.Type) then xxx else yyy

The logic is the same but you can get rid of the IF:

Number.Mod([TASKID],1)=0
