    Hi Necrosis1968 ,

     

    According to your statement, I think your error may be caused that you use 'report this month'[Unique ID] directly in your code to create the calculated column.

    This error occurs because Power BI is unable to determine which row of data to use in a calculation among multiple rows of data.

    I suggest you to try code as below.

    Resolved = IF ('report last month'[Unique ID] in  VALUES('report this month'[Unique ID]), "No", "Yes")

    Result is as below.

     

    Best Regards,
