Calculated field

Hi All,

 

I am connecting my data to power bi with amazon redshift (DirectQuery). Can I create new column ? I tried creating new column mentioned below:

 

Column C = sum (Column A) / sum (Column B)

 

However, it gives me an error 'sum is not a function'. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

You will need to create a Measure not a calculated column as you are using aggregate functions.
