      Hi Team,

      I have two tables in excel like below and I want to compare Ā the” Numbers” column in both the tables. The Numbers column may contain numbrs/ alphabets / or some times alpha numeric characters etc. when I define this Data type in DAX I can’t put either Text or whole number because it may change in different times. Is there any solution to fix this error like below.

      Number

      Value

      Ā  2200

      100

      2000-5

      200

      2000A

      10

      ABCD

      20.00

      Ā 

      Number

      Value

      2000

      300

      6000

      200

      4000

      10

      ABCD

      20.00

      If I am understanding you clearly, you can define the number column as TEXT which will save the actual value and allow you to have any type of character in that field. Ā If that does not return what you are looking for, you can try the VALUE function to see if that will work for you.

      VALUE Function (DAX)

      Microsoft remove preview
      VALUE Function (DAX)
      You can also use column references. For example, if you have a column that contains mixed number types, VALUE can be used to convert all values to a single numeric data type. However, if you use the VALUE function with a column that contains mixed numbers and text, the entire column is flagged with an error, because not all values in all rows can be converted to numbers.
