Switch Function Issues

[dskeane]

Using connection to a power bi service and running into an issue. 

Table reporting month contains 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12. 

When I write the SWITCH below it doesnt find the table? Not sure what the issue is?

Short Month = SWITCH ('ProjectMetrics'[reportingMonth],
1, "Jan",
2, "Feb",
3, "Mar",
4, "Apr",
5, "May",
6, "Jun",
7, "Jul",
8, "Aug",
9, "Sep",
10, "Oct",
11, "Nov",
12, "Dec",
BLANK ()
)

What do you mean "it doesn't find the table?"

[dskeane]

The best way I can explain is with a screen shot. It does not recognize the table even though it exists in the database.

What error message is it giving you below that? Are you adding this as a column or a measure?

[dskeane]

I am seeting this up as a measure. Below is the error message when I drag the Short Month measure on the blan canvas.

Well it looks to me like the table is named "(green blur)_Project_ProjectMetrics" not "ProjectMetrics" but even then you can't refer to a naked column in a measure like that. You have to aggregate it somehow inside that switch. Probably using FIRSTNONBLANK is the best way.
