calculation

Hi,
I calculated a column:
Orders with standard factor = IF('Fact_UM'[Factor] >'Fact_UM'[Standrad factor], 'Fact_UM '[Menge])
I would like to add that if standard factor is blank than column will show "no data"  in that row. 

Thank you for help!
Aleks

Hi @ALEKSGOD ,

 

Due to the limitations of calculated columns, using calculated columns will result in an error of "Expressions that yield variant data-type cannot be used to define calculated columns", it is recommended that you change the measure values and display them as a visual in the table.

 

(1)We can create a measure. 

Measure = IF(SUM('Table'[Column])==BLANK(),"no data",SUM('Table'[Column]))

(2)Then the result is as follows.

hi @ALEKSGOD 

try lik

Column=
IF(
Fact_UM'[Standrad factor]=BLANK,
"no data",
IF('Fact_UM'[Factor] >'Fact_UM'[Standrad factor], 'Fact_UM '[Menge])
)

Yes, I was trying this but doesn't work. I get this error "Expressions that yield variant data-type cannot be used to define calculated columns."

Hi @ALEKSGOD could you paste some sample data and let us have a look?

- So,  factor is a calculated column:
Factor =

CALCULATE (
DIVIDE (
SUM ( 'Fact_UM'[x] ),
SUM ( 'Fact_UM2'[y] )
),
ALLEXCEPT ('Fact_UM', 'Fact_UM'[Factory Order nr.]))

- Standard Factor has many Blanks 

Unfortunately, I cannot paste any data 😞
