The True/False expression does not specify a column. Each True/False expressions used as a table fil

Anonymous — Mon, 08 Nov 2021 01:29:42 GMT

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a solution to the error I'm facing below. I have tried created a New Measure with the following Formula. Can someone point me where I'm making a mistake please? I have tried using Median inside the variable below but unfortunately not able to, is this what is causing this error? My aim is to have one Calculated column with the Trading Gap instead of having 8 columns. Any help/guidance is appreciated.

1 Trading Gap $ =

VAR CurrentSales = sum('Store data'[Sales MAT])

VAR VarietalProducts = calculate(counta('Store data'[PRODUCT_NAME]), ALLEXCEPT('Store data','Store data'[STORE_CODE], 'Store data'[Varietal]), CurrentSales > 0)

VAR VarietalProductsSales = CALCULATE(sum('Store data'[Sales MAT]), ALLEXCEPT('Store data','Store data'[STORE_CODE], 'Store data'[Varietal]))

VAR PartofVarietalProducts = divide(1,VarietalProducts)

VAR PartofVarietalProductsSales = divide(CurrentSales,VarietalProductsSales)

VAR LocalIndex = DIVIDE(PartofVarietalProductsSales,PartofVarietalProducts,0)

VAR MedianIndex = CALCULATE(MEDIAN('Store data'[Local Index]), ALLEXCEPT('Store data','Store data'[PRODUCT_NAME]), CurrentSales > 0 )

VAR PotentialSales = MedianIndex * PartofVarietalProducts * VarietalProductsSales

RETURN

CALCULATE ((PotentialSales-CurrentSales), CurrentSales > 0 )

Thanks

Anonymous , You need to use some level in measure filter and prefer filter clause .

Try like

Trading Gap $ = VAR CurrentSales = sum('Store data'[Sales MAT]) VAR VarietalProducts = calculate(counta('Store data'[PRODUCT_NAME]), ALLEXCEPT('Store data','Store data'[STORE_CODE], 'Store data'[Varietal]), CurrentSales > 0) VAR VarietalProductsSales = CALCULATE(sum('Store data'[Sales MAT]), ALLEXCEPT('Store data','Store data'[STORE_CODE], 'Store data'[Varietal])) VAR PartofVarietalProducts = divide(1,VarietalProducts) VAR PartofVarietalProductsSales = divide(CurrentSales,VarietalProductsSales) VAR LocalIndex = DIVIDE(PartofVarietalProductsSales,PartofVarietalProducts,0) VAR MedianIndex = CALCULATE(MEDIAN('Store data'[Local Index]), ALLEXCEPT('Store data','Store data'[PRODUCT_NAME]),filter(values('Store data'[PRODUCT_NAME]), CurrentSales > 0 )) VAR PotentialSales = MedianIndex * PartofVarietalProducts * VarietalProductsSales RETURN CALCULATE ((PotentialSales-CurrentSales), filter(values('Store data'[PRODUCT_NAME]), CurrentSales > 0 ))

Hi Amit,

Thanks for your suggestion. However, I'm still getting the same error.

The calculations are done on one table only.
I'm struggling to understand what's causing this error.

Hi Anonymous

Please try this measure instead.

Trading Gap $ =

VAR CurrentSales =

SUM ( 'Store data'[Sales MAT] )

VAR VarietalProducts =

CALCULATE (

COUNTA ( 'Store data'[PRODUCT_NAME] ),

FILTER (

ALLEXCEPT ( 'Store data', 'Store data'[STORE_CODE], 'Store data'[Varietal] ),

CurrentSales > 0

)

VAR VarietalProductsSales =

CALCULATE (

SUM ( 'Store data'[Sales MAT] ),

ALLEXCEPT ( 'Store data', 'Store data'[STORE_CODE], 'Store data'[Varietal] )

)

VAR PartofVarietalProducts =

DIVIDE ( 1, VarietalProducts )

VAR PartofVarietalProductsSales =

DIVIDE ( CurrentSales, VarietalProductsSales )

VAR LocalIndex =

DIVIDE ( PartofVarietalProductsSales, PartofVarietalProducts, 0 )

VAR MedianIndex =

CALCULATE (

MEDIAN ( 'Store data'[Local Index] ),

FILTER (

ALLEXCEPT ( 'Store data', 'Store data'[PRODUCT_NAME] ),

CurrentSales > 0

)

VAR PotentialSales = MedianIndex * PartofVarietalProducts * VarietalProductsSales

return

CALCULATE (

( PotentialSales - CurrentSales ),

FILTER ( 'Store data', CurrentSales > 0 )

)

Then use this measure to create a new measure, use this new measure to create visual.

Sum_Trading Gap$ = SUMX('Store data','Store data'[Trading Gap $])

Result looks like this:
