Filter with calculated measures

[raymondxie]

I have a table on a database which contains a field Validated of varchar.

I need to count the number of records with [Validated] == 'Y', I created a measure with the following formula:

Validated = CALCULATE ( Count (Result[ID]), FILTER ( Result, [Validated] == 'Y') ) 

I got this error message:

Can anyone tell me what am I missing here and how to fix it?

Thank you very much.

Validated = CALCULATE ( Count (Result[ID]), FILTER ( Result, [Validated] = "Y") )

Validated = CALCULATE ( Count (Result[ID]), FILTER ( Result, [Validated] = "Y") )

Thank you @Greg_Deckler,

I got the following number which doesn't seem to be a count result but rather a sum result:

The count should be something less than 50000

I changed from creating column to creating measure and it works now, thank you very much. @Greg_Deckler

Ah, I was wondering, because you said "measure" in your first post so I was thinking that couldn't be the issue!!
