    mgrayTCB try this:

     

    MS Months Chg2 =
AVERAGEX (
    FILTER (
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            Project,
            "@datechg",
                VAR SSdate =
                    CALCULATE ( MINX ( MilestoneSS, MilestoneSS[DateActOrEstSS] ) )
                VAR Curdate =
                    CALCULATE ( MAXX ( Milestones, Milestones[DateActOrEst] ) )
                VAR datechg =
                    DATEDIFF ( SSdate, Curdate, DAY ) / 30.4
                RETURN
                    datechg
        ),
        [@datechg] <> 0
    ),
    [@datechg]
)

    mgrayTCB no problem.

    Please also add calculate on top of minx and maxx in lines 7 and 9 and you can actually remove the calculate we added before, it has no meaning. All there is vars anyway.

    BTW, in general, you don't need the calculate in line 2.

Hi:

I beleive it's due to having multiple iterators with calculate. 

 

Would somehing like this work?

 

CombinedMeasure = IF([MS Months Chg]<>0, [MS Months Change], BLANK())

the combined measure that is not working is the one with the variable datechg. I tried that if statement there but it does not help. Any other ideas?

    Hi:

    If you have sample data it will be easier to try to solve. Thank you.
