Hi,
I need some help identifying rows with conditional logic in poweBI Desktop, I've outlined the details below.
I've attempted to create a new custom column within the query editor with the following conditions:
repLogic = if ( [Status] = "Open" or "Active" or "New" and ([Impact] >= 4 and [Likelihood] >= 4 or Text.Contains([TagNames], "portfolio") )) then 1 else 0
I don't get any syntax errors but its clearly not working how I intended it to 😉
I get the following error in most but not all rows:
Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value "Active" to type Logical.
Details:
Value=Active
Type=Type
I understand that I'm mixing boolean with text so I'll need to find a way to convert the [Status] value to a boolean.
My questions:
Solved! Go to Solution.
@tstraker try following code
if ( ( [Status] = "Open" or [Status] = "Active" or [Status] = "New") and ( ([Impact] >= 4 and [Likelihood] >= 4) or Text.Contains([TagNames], "portfolio") ) then 1 else 0

Thanks @parry2k
I was prompted for an additional right parenthesis, I added that and ran it (screenshot below).
I then had to clean up a few null values in my [TagNames] and [Status] fields but it worked!
Thanks for the tweak!
