Hi @atin ,

 

According to the error message, you are summing a column of text type in your measure formula. So please check the data type of the fields.

Many thanks @v-kkf-msft for your assistance.
I checked the data and was able to detect that the column which I had used to create the measure had some texts in it. I have about 208 queries in the file and saw when unpivoting the columns during the transform process, I had not selected all the columns
However It works now  - Happy days 😊
