Alert for percent dont work

[Pikachu-Power]

hi all,

i have a card with a percent value. it is currently 44 %. when i create an alert on the dashboard with 40 or 0.4 i dont get an alert / an e-mail. For a normal number it works in a card or kpi.

the percent value is a measure like 

Measure_Percent =

VAR V1_ = [Variable1]

VAR V2_ = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Column]))

RETURN

V1_ / V2_

So what i do wrong?

Hi @Pikachu-Power ,

Please review the Considerations and troubleshooting

• Alerts aren't supported for card tiles with date/time measures.
• Alerts only work with numeric data types.
• Alerts only work on refreshed data. They don't work on static data.
• Alerts only work on streaming datasets if you build a KPI, card, or gauge report visual and then pin that visual to the dashboard.

As mentioned above, Alerts only work on streaming datasets if you build a KPI, card, or gauge report visual and then pin that visual to the dashboard.

So Alerts only work with numeric data types would mean that i cant use alerts for a percent format?

i have two numeric values A and B. And i want an alert when A exceeds B, more precise when A / B is over 100%. Sounds strange that this is not possible 😐

When i just use A in the card and enter B as limit it works and i get an alert. But B can change so I need the percentage.

When I use a numeric value 0,44 instead of 44% in the card or kpi it works. so it looks like that i need a separate card or kpi in a numeric version just for the alert which i may hide in a power bi desktop side. Right? 😐
