Hi guys,
I'm using direct query to get the data from an OLAP cube. The columns Dim_date, Fiscal_year, Fiscal_week, FY, FP, etc are not available in the DAX expression box when typing. This the error i get when i give the expression :
dim_month_1 = MONTH('time'[Dim_date])
The error: (here the [Dim_date] column is a date column in string format)After spending some time researching i was able to learn that i need to aggregate, so i used the following expression:
=SUM('Time'[FP])
As you can see the column 'FP' is just a value in string format, but it still shoes this error:
And when i try and convert it into a value by using the expression:
=VALUE(SUM('Time'[FP]))
This is the error:
Please help, i'm new so if i made a silly mistake, forgive me.
Thanks
what is the format of the FP column in the cube?
if its a string you may need to convert it to a number. Unsure of your system but StrToValue might help, or be a starting point.
I believe StrToValue is not part of DAX's functions and I don't have access to the cube, so there's no way of knowing the format through the backdoor or any way
