Hello everyone,
Sometimes, when I make calculated columns, a Sigma with RED background appears instead of the normal, white one (see picture below).
What does it mean? I didn't find anything seatching in the forum or googling.
Someties it appears in columns of a lot of calculations, sometimes in the simplest one like Column3 = Column2.
This red symbol only appears in the report view. It shows the normal calculated column symbol in the table view.
Thanks in advance!
hi @ary_szpic
Not sure why there is RED background in the field, if you uninstall and reinstall power bi desktop and try it again.
And it is a great help that you could share your sample pbix file for us to have a test on our side.
Regards,
Lin
@ary_szpic , this calculated column.

@amitchandak I have seen that page, it doesn't say what the sigma with red background is...
@ary_szpic can yo paste the dax expression for these calculated columns?

@ary_szpic you are correct didn't see this before. Can you share the expression where you have this red background, I want to see if there is anything in those calculations, just copy-paste the dax expression of those two red background columns.

@ary_szpic it is to represent that it is a calculated column by using DAX, column is not coming directly from your data source.
