DAX problem
Hello
I have been tasked with creating a performance against targets dashboard that has previously been manually created in a spreadsheet.
There are various measures that use a count of dates and DAX time calculations, and it has a slicer that selects the current month.
The original report has a “targets” column that is a subtraction of the “comps received current month” column which is a DAX measure.
Comps Recieved Current Month =
CALCULATE (
'Performance Against Target'[Count of 1628],
USERELATIONSHIP ('Performance Against Target'[1628], DimDate[Date] )
)
The targets where previously just entered onto a spreadsheet and change every month. They are not input on the database anywhere.
I created a linked spreadsheet which I put in the targets against each referrer.
I was unable to create a measure or column that would subtract the two, the intellisence in the formula bar would not even recognise the imported spreadsheet with the targets.
I have done a lot of googling and have been unable to solve this problem.
Does anyone have any idea about how I might achieve this?
Many thanks
Charlie

Anonymous is the issue that the data isn't imported into your data model? Or with the DAX formula?

Hi Anonymous ,
I can't speculate the issue. Could you create a dummy .pbix file with the same issue for us to test? Please don't contain real data and sensitive information.
