Hi @Rkrama746 ,
Based on the error reporting information you provided, I checked the thread on the issue and it could be due to the fact that the data you are using is sourced from a different table and you are filtering your MEASURES using fields sourced from a different table.
Our testing process is as follows:
Created two tables and related the two tables using IDs and then created the relationship. We put the ID field from table 1 and the except ID field from table 2 into the same table visual, then created a meaure and put it into the table visual, at this point we went to use exclude to exclude a piece of data, but got the same error as you did.
About the solution of this error, you can use the filter of power bi desktop to uncheck the field you want to exclude in the current visual's filter, which can also show the result after you want to exclude the data. Alternatively, you can use advanced filtering to exclude fields with is not.
