Basic DAX Issue
I have created measures before but have not used the DAX Query View, now tried to do basic things but I am failing in anything, I understand I am new to this but sounds I am missing something basi...
You’re writing measure definitions in DAX Query View and pressing Run. But DAX Query View does not accept measure definitions.
Example 1: simple calculation
EVALUATE ROW ( "Result", 2 + 3 )Example 2: test your aggregation
EVALUATE SUMMARIZE ( 'Table 1', "Total AQuality", SUM ( 'Table 1'[AQuality] ) )Now press Run → results will appear.
DAX Query View runs queries (EVALUATE …), not measure definitions. Create measures in the measure editor, or wrap logic in EVALUATE when using Query View.
