The syntax for ')' is incorrect. getting this message straight away when creating a measure

Anonymous — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 11:10:16 GMT

Hi,

I'm new to PowerBI/DAX and not sure why I'm getting the syntax message after creating a new measure and starting to create a vairable.

Not sure why this happens straight away. I haven't used any curly brackets which was the issue with another user that had the same message.

Don't understand why I'm getting this message. Any idea's?

Hi Anonymous,

Please try adding RETURN LastMove_ to the end of the statement.

FlagZERO =

VAR LastMove_ = SELECTEDVALUE(ME2N_in_YSPOcombined[Last move])

RETURN LastMove_

Hi KhaiT,

Thank you very much!!!

I just tried it and adding the Return function indeed make the error go away.
