Invalid argument type after filter?

Dear all

The following formula works great as long as my source in the ForAll loop isn't filtered.

// fill invoice items
ForAll(
 'Time Trackings',
 Collect(
 colActiveInvoice,
 {
 Name: Comments,
 'Invoice Number': gblSelectedInvoice.crc06_invoicenumber,
 Rate: 
 If(
 drpChooseProjects.Selected.'Is Fixed Rate',
 drpChooseProjects.Selected.'Fixed Rate',
 LookUp(Users, User = 'Time Trackings'[@User].User, 'Billable Rate')
 ),
 User: User.User,
 Qty: Hours,
 'Line Total': 
 If(
 drpChooseProjects.Selected.'Is Fixed Rate',
 drpChooseProjects.Selected.'Fixed Rate',
 LookUp(Users, User = 'Time Trackings'[@User].User, 'Billable Rate')
 )
 * Hours
 }
 )
);

However, once it's filtered, like so:

// fill invoice items
ForAll(
 Filter(
 'Time Trackings',
 Billed = 'Billed (Time Trackings)'.No &&
 Project.Project = drpChooseProjects.Selected.Project &&
 Date > dteStartChooseProjects.SelectedDate && Date < dteEndChooseProjects.SelectedDate 
 ),
 Collect(
 colActiveInvoice,
 {
 Name: Comments,
 'Invoice Number': gblSelectedInvoice.crc06_invoicenumber,
 Rate: 
 If(
 drpChooseProjects.Selected.'Is Fixed Rate',
 drpChooseProjects.Selected.'Fixed Rate',
 LookUp(Users, User = 'Time Trackings'[@User].User, 'Billable Rate')
 ),
 User: User.User,
 Qty: Hours,
 'Line Total': 
 If(
 drpChooseProjects.Selected.'Is Fixed Rate',
 drpChooseProjects.Selected.'Fixed Rate',
 LookUp(Users, User = 'Time Trackings'[@User].User, 'Billable Rate')
 )
 * Hours
 }
 )
);

this bit: LookUp(Users, User = 'Time Trackings'[@User].User, 'Billable Rate') is throwing an error, saying "invalid argument type".

Does anyone know why?

I can't use the As function either due to this reason (post).

Hi @mrQ ,

There is potential ambiguity and also you do not need to repeat 'Time Trackings' when you are inside a ForAll(). The As statement generally solves ambiguity - try this

ForAll( 'Time Trackings' As wTime, Collect( colActiveInvoice, { Name: Comments, 'Invoice Number': gblSelectedInvoice.crc06_invoicenumber, Rate: If( drpChooseProjects.Selected.'Is Fixed Rate', drpChooseProjects.Selected.'Fixed Rate', LookUp( Users, User = wTime.User ).'Billable Rate' ), User: User.User, Qty: Hours, 'Line Total': If( drpChooseProjects.Selected.'Is Fixed Rate', drpChooseProjects.Selected.'Fixed Rate', LookUp( Users, User = wTime.User ).'Billable Rate' )* Hours } ) )

Hi @mrQ ,

I must admit that is the first time I have seen the As statement fail its intended purpose (and I use it extensively - but on SharePoint), nevertheless another path is With(), which also addresses any Delegation issues

With( { wTime: Filter( 'Time Trackings', Billed = 'Billed (Time Trackings)'.No && Project.Project = drpChooseProjects.Selected.Project && Date > dteStartChooseProjects.SelectedDate && Date < dteEndChooseProjects.SelectedDate ), wFixed:drpChooseProjects.Selected.'Fixed Rate', wType:drpChooseProjects.Selected.'Is Fixed Rate', wUsers:Users }, ForAll( wTime, With( { wRate: LookUp( wUsers, User = wTime.User, ).'Billable Rate', }, Collect( colActiveInvoice, { Name: Comments, 'Invoice Number': gblSelectedInvoice.crc06_invoicenumber, Rate: If( wType, wFixed, wRate ), User: User.User, Qty: Hours, 'Line Total': If( wType, wFixed, wRate * Hours ) } ) ) ) )
