Name Isn't Valid Using ClearCollect

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 35

Guys - I have seen numerous postings out there concerning this issue, but none that are specific to my issue.

More specifically, I have two collections that I am working with: totalAgentsByMetro and totAgentsByMetroCount, referenced here below. Could it be an issue w/ the length of the collection name? I tried reducing it a few characters, and even that did not work.

 

Here is my code snipet that is returning the error: Name Isn't Valid...totalAgentsByMetroCount is not valid.

ClearCollect(totAgentsByMetroCount, AddColumns(totalAgentsByMetro,AgentCount, CountRows(Filter('Agents', MetroArea = totalAgentsByMetro[@Result])));
 
In addition, I created a separate ClearCollect whereas, I was able to create the collection and create a table with rows. But the above never works...more specifically when using AddColumns although no errors appear here.

    All - I figured the issue out myself. Simply needed to adjust the lines w/n the AddColumns. See below before and after. Issue was w/n the comparsion values and their respective placement w/n the code.

     

    - - -  BEFORE - - - 

    ClearCollect(totAgentsByMetroCount, AddColumns(totalAgentsByMetro,AgentCount, CountRows(Filter('VPS Agents',MetroArea=totalAgentsByMetro[@Result]))));
     

    - - - AFTER - - - 

    ClearCollect(totAgentsByMetroCount, AddColumns(totalAgentsByMetro,AgentCount, CountRows(Filter('VPS Agents',totalAgentsByMetro[@Result] in MetroArea))));
