The syntax for ')' is incorrect.
I've searched for this and the typical suggestion is that the Return is needed. I'm using this in a new column, does it need to be a measure? What is the issue? I need to have a few of these but figured I'd get one right first.

Hi Anonymous Return funtion consumes variables.
TestReq = var Chag = Relatedtable(CHAGAS) Return ChagThis solution might help you to understand better https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/How-DAX-Execute-VAR-RETURN/m-p/654960

Hi GQ,
Can you try returning the variable you have created?
TestReq =
var CHAG = RELATEDTABLE(CHAGAS)
RETURN CHAG
You can define a variable in any DAX expression by using VAR followed by RETURN. In one or several VAR sections, you individually declare the variables needed to compute the expression; in the RETURN part you provide the expression itself (Source: SQLPBI)
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi GQ,
I just read your post again and if you are trying to use this in a 'new column' then it should be a measure. I think that formula is returning an entire table, which you can't use for a column since it's returning multiple columns.
you should assign your code to a measure in this case. I think you can use filters+aggregate functions in your code to ensure you are returning a measure instead of entire table. let me know if I can help.

I'm getting the same error as a measure.

Hi Anonymous
which column from that table would you like to return? What is the relationship between the two tables?

I want to return the 1st column which is a member number. It is unique and it linked to another table by that number. Essentially, if the member is not in that table, I need to concatenate another literal to a message column. (see my reply to unicorn in this thread with my needed logic.)
