Hi All,
I got the below query - it works fine in PowerBi but in Excel, I get the error "Invalid Query syntax. A valid MDX or DAX query was expected." - what's going on?
=
SUMMARIZE (
Table14,
Table14.[X],
Table14.[Y],
Table14.[Z],
"Start Date", MIN ( Table14[Received on] ),
"End Date", MAX ( Table14[Received on] ),
"Male", CALCULATE ( COUNT ( Table14[Gender] ), Table14[Gender] = "1" ),
"Female", CALCULATE ( COUNT ( Table14[Gender] ), Table14[Gender] = "2" ),
"Indicator", "SALES",
"Location", IF ( Table14[Z] = "A", "A", "Other" )
)

Hi,
what is the context for this error? Are you trying to use the same code in Excel Power Pivot?

Hi @sturlaws
I'm trying to run this through DAX studio on Excel but I also get a similar response with Power Pivot.
