#MULTIVALUE error when I add Text in a cell

Question

Hi,
There is a funny error occurring in the report.
I have build this report on Excel sheet. The sheet has ONLY 4 rows,(and it always will have 4 rows).
Following is the format of the Excel sheet:
Plant    Division           Comment1           Comment2   Week
1            10                   A                        E                 4
2            10                   B                        F                 4
3            10                   C                        G                4
1            20                   D                        H                 4
In the report I have made a connection on the Excel sheet. I have made made the fields Plant,Division,Comment1 and Comment2 as Dimensions and Week as Measure.
In 4 different cells, with 4 combinations on Plant and Division, I want the following output:
- Comment1: A
- Comment2: E
When I put the formula: =([Comment1] where ([Plant]="1" and [Division]="10")) + ([Comment2] where ([Plant]="1" and [Division]="10"))
it returns Correct Results.
But when I add Text values in the formula it returns #MULTIVALUE error:
Example:        ="- Comment1: "+ ([Comment1] where ([Plant]="1" and [Division]="10"))
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks,
Amrita

Answer 1

Hi Amrita,
This is because when you are going only with the formula, it will provide you the value for one cell and blank for other.
But when you are going with the comments as well, you will get 4 values for this. (one for each row)
1. -Comment1:
2. -Comment1:
3. -Comment1:
4. -Comment1: A
So when you are selecting this in a single cell it will throw you #Multivalue error.
Hope it is understood.
