DAX ISSSUBTOTAL Evaluate Issue

I'm trying to evaluate below query but getting error "Query(22,48) Column "Category" cannot be found or may not be used in this expression".

 

Let me know if i'm missing something.

 

 

DEFINE
    VAR table1 =
        UNION (
            ROW ( "Cateogry", "A", "Value", INT ( 1 ) ),
            ROW ( "Cateogry", "A", "Value", INT ( 2 ) ),
            ROW ( "Cateogry", "A", "Value", INT ( 3 ) ),
            ROW ( "Cateogry", "B", "Value", INT ( 4 ) ),
            ROW ( "Cateogry", "B", "Value", INT ( 5 ) ),
            ROW ( "Cateogry", "C", "Value", INT ( 6 ) ),
            ROW ( "Cateogry", "c", "Value", INT ( 7 ) )
        )
    --EVALUATE table1
   VAR H =
        SUMMARIZE (
            table1,
            ROLLUP ( [Cateogry] ),
            "Sum of Value", SUMX ( table1, [Value] ),
            "Max of Value", MAXX ( table1, [Value] ),
            "Average of Value", FIXED ( AVERAGEX ( table1, [Value] ), 1 ),
            "Is Category Subtotal", ISSUBTOTAL([Category])
        )

EVALUATE
H

Thanks,

Hi @HarsimranPWRBI 

You have Category instead of Cateogry (which you use to build the table). And that's what the error message complains about. Let me know if there are other things not working after updating that.

Please mark the question solved when done and consider giving kudos if posts are helpful.
