Hi All--I'm having a weird problem where a true/false column is fine immediately after being uploaded to app.power.bi, but then after awhile, it is converting to -1,0. Has anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions on how to fix it? I wouldn't care if it wasn't messing up some conditional formatting and filters. TIA.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I figured out a solution...I just rewrote everything to account for the eventual conversion....
Hey @ELIN237 ,
The first answer is that you should create a ticket to get Microsoft help on this. (Support | Microsoft Power BI and select the "Get Support").
The second answer is that I have had this happen to me enough times that I just create a "1 or 0" or even a text field that is "Yes, No" in the file itself and use that. I know, that is treating the symptom and not the cause but I gave up the fight some time ago.
Proud to be a Datanaut!
