I have written a measure to format a calculated column but am getting an error message.
The measure is "Variance1 = IF('Forecast Expense'[Variance]=-0, 'Forecast Expense'[Variance]*-1, 'Forecast Expense'[Variance])", where "Variance" is the name of the calculated column. This measures is supposed to ensure that any nil result shows as "0%" and not "-0%".
The calculated column is "Variance = calculate(divide(sum('Actual Expense'[Expense Amount])+sum('Forecast Expense'[Forecast Amount]),sum('Initiative Funding'[Amount]))-1)".
The error message is "A single value for column 'Variance' in table 'Forecast Expense' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result.".
The formula appears to be wanting a single result, whereas I am looking for a different result for each row. This is consistent with my research, which suggests that a measure cannot be applied to a calculated column as one uses rows and the other columns.
Is there another way to achieve my objective.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
You can change the measure using MAX function to get values for every rows like DAX below.
Variance1 = IF(MAX('Forecast Expense'[Variance])=-0, MAX('Forecast Expense'[Variance])*-1, MAX('Forecast Expense'[Variance]))
