Error with parameter data type

Hello eveybody and Happy Christmas:

I'm very new in Report Builder and i'm unable to create a new dataset based on a parameter.

I have this simple DAX:

DEFINE
VAR UltMesCerrado=value(@UltMes)
EVALUATE

SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
'Calendario'[Año],
'Calendario'[Mes],     // This is the month number
'Calendario'[MesTexto],
FILTER(Calendario, 'Calendario'[Mes] = UltMesCerrado),
"Gastos", 'AA_Medidas'[Gastos]))

 

But when i run it I get a message saying that [Calendario].[Mes].[4] cant't be converted from text to number.

[Calendario].[Mes].[4] is the default value of the parameter, which is defined as integer in the parametes section.

 

Any help would be much apreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi @Jonete ,

 

I suggest you use Value function in your formula to cobvert text value to number value.

What is your reason for including the calendar month in the SUMMARIZECOLUMNS() call when you also filter by it? Seems redundant.

 

Have you tried using Number.From('Calendario'[Mes]) in the filter?
