Hi @Anonymous  ,

 

If you are using a measure , you cannot directly reference a column in a table in a measure, you need to use a function to apply to a table column.

If you are using calculated columns, if there is a correspondence between the two tables (such as one-to-many), you can use the related() function to refer to a column in another table.

e.grelated(Alertsvulns[Created Date])

Hi @Anonymous 

please try

OOSLA =
VAR _Today =
TODAY ()
VAR _Date =
SELECTEDVALUE ( Alertsvulns[Created Date] )
VAR _Severity =
SELECTEDVALUE ( Machinevulns[severity] )
VAR _DiffDays = _Today - _Date
RETURN
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
_Severity = "Medium"
&& _DiffDays >= 90, _DiffDays - 90,
_Severity = "Low"
&& _DiffDays >= 120, _DiffDays - 120,
_DiffDays >= 30, DiffDays - 30,
_Severity = "Critical"
&& _DiffDays >= 30, _DiffDays - 30
)

Please try

OOSLA =
VAR _Severity =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Machinevulns[severity] )
VAR _DiffDays =
    SUMX ( Alertsvulns, DATEDIFF ( Alertsvulns[Created Date], TODAY (), DAY ) )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        _Severity = "Medium"
            && _DiffDays >= 90, _DiffDays - 90,
        _Severity = "Low"
            && _DiffDays >= 120, _DiffDays - 120,
        _DiffDays >= 30, DiffDays - 30,
        _Severity = "Critical"
            && _DiffDays >= 30, _DiffDays - 30
    )
