Hello all,

I need to create a measure having Date condition but It is showing errors, any help please?

It should work.

Measure = IF(DimDates[Date] < DATE(2024,1,1), DIVIDE(SUM(Metrics[Revenue_DKK]),0.77), DIVIDE(SUM(Metrics[Revenue_DKK]),0.240870000))

Thank you for your help

HI lucie_rabochova,

Current you cannot directly invoke the table columns in the measure formula.
I'd like to suggest you add aggregate functions to process on it to get value from current row context instead directly use table column in your conditions:

Measure = IF ( MAX ( DimDates[Date] ) < DATE ( 2024, 1, 1 ), DIVIDE ( SUM ( Metrics[Revenue_DKK] ), 0.77 ), DIVIDE ( SUM ( Metrics[Revenue_DKK] ), 0.240870000 ) )
