Power Fx Column not calculating formula character count correctly

Posted on 10 Aug 2023 15:23:09 by Apples4All 8

I have an Fx column in dataverse that is telling me my character length exceeds the allowable 1000 characters and is 1014.  I am summing other Fx columns which I believe may be the issue.  I had this column working but I needed to update the columns that it referenced so I deleted all the columns and was able to update the referenced columns but I cannot create this column again with this issue.  The formula in this Fx column is :  

If('Percentage Cut'>0,'Current Sticks Cut'/('Percentage Cut'/100),Sum('One to 4','Five to Eight','Nine to Twelve','Thirteen to Sixteen','Seventeen up'))
 
I had updated the referenced columns because I was running into this same issue in them previously.
 
Thanks!

    Thanks for the help.  I was able to find the offending FX column I was referencing and got it to work.

    Just something to try to eliminate the possibilities.

    1. Can you modify the formula and add each value in 1 at a time and see when it errors? 

    Sorry, not much help here but it is not making sense so I would just break it down and then build it back up.

    I tested that and removed the division and it still returned the same error.  It was a good thought.  I also removed the summing because I am simply trying to pull the correct numbers based on tree age.  That too gave me the same error even after removing the division.

    Hi @Apples4All ,

    Could you be hitting a divide by 0 situation and the error might not be completely accurate?
