DAX query

Hi all,
 
This is the DAX query I have written.
 
Value = var m = (calculate(SUM('Table'[A]),FILTER('Table','Table'[B] = "0")))
 
But I still get an error, The syntax for ')' is incorrect. I am not sure what the problem is. Can I please know what is incorrect?
 
Any help is appreciated!
 
Thank you!
Megha

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

When using VAR, RETURN is required to return the final value/formula you want. You can write your formula as below

Value =
VAR m =
     CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[A] ), FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[B] = "0" ) ) 
RETURN
    m

 

or simply 

Value =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[A] ), FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[B] = "0" ) )

 

By the way in case you are not aware 0 is different from "0" as the latter (in double quotes) is a text string.
