Column If condition not working for measure value.

[Anonymous]

HI Team, Can you please help me with below issue.

I am calculating measure NovForecast as below 

NovForecast = CALCULATE('data'[TotalForecast1],FILTER('data','data'[Index]=1))

TotalForecast1 is total of current cost column as calculate function only take measure value.

I am now creating column  as BRMain  but NovForecast value is not getting displayed in column . I am creating column BRMain as below 

BRMain = IF('data'[Index] = 2, 'data'[NovForecast], 'data'[brCCC])

Sample data is as below.

Index	Month	FI Name	Sum of Current Cost	Runway by CF MAIN	Sum of BRMain	NovForecast

I think you are telling us that [TotalForecast1] is a measure but it is not good practice to use a measure in a column. It is not advisable.

So re-write the BRMain column.

Also, are you writing a calculated column that gets the Nov values for December rather than writing a generic LastMonthValue column?

Hi @HotChilli  Thansk for your response. Can you plz advise how to write BRMain column for that IF condition

Will LastMonthValue work for me coz Dec is not my last month here..
