    HI iruobe19 

     

    This usually happens if the measure wasn’t created correctly or if the table/column name doesn’t match your model.

    Could you please try below steps:

    1.In Power BI Desktop, go to the Modeling tab>>click New Measure.

    2.Type this exactly:

    Total Units Sold = SUM(Financials[Units Sold])

    and press Enter.

    3.You’ll now see the measure under the Financials table in the Fields pane.

    4.To view the result, drag Total Units Sold into a Card or Table visual , it won’t show any output until you use it in a visual.

    Also, make sure the table name is Financials (same spelling and capital letters) and that Units Sold is a numeric column.
