Column reference to 'wo_built_datetime' in table 'works_order' cannot be used with a variation 'Date

Hi,

 

I am getting this error in direct query with the following formula. I have tried both column and measure with the same issue. It works fine if using a import template opposed to directquery.

 

Defined_Date =
IF (
TIMEVALUE ( works_order[Time] ) >= TIMEVALUE ( "07:00:00" )
&& TIMEVALUE ( works_order[Time] ) <= TIMEVALUE ( "23:59:59" ),
works_order[wo_built_datetime].[Date],
IF (
TIMEVALUE ( works_order[Time] ) < TIMEVALUE ( "07:00:00" )
&& CONTAINS (
works_order,
works_order[wo_built_datetime].[Date], works_order[wo_built_datetime].[Date] - 1
),
works_order[wo_built_datetime].[Date] - 1,
works_order[wo_built_datetime].[Date]
)
)

 

Not sure why this would be?

Hi @CraigBlackman,

 

Since there are some of limitions to use dax at directquery mode, you can use power query to check the value.

 

Below is the sample.

 

Table.

Formula:

 

    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each 
        if Time.From([USDate]) >= #time(7,0,0) and Time.From([USDate]) <= #time(23,59,59) 
        then [USDate] 
        else if Time.From([USDate]) < #time(7,0,0) and List.Contains(Table.SelectColumns(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Changed Type",{{"USDate", type date}}),"USDate")[USDate],Date.AddDays(Date.From([USDate]), -1))
        then Date.AddDays(Date.From([USDate]), -1) 
        else [USDate])

 

Result:
