Hi @suvechha 

 

Try this:

Nominated COVID Wards - Occupied Bed =
IF(
    MAX( Facility ) = "NBH",
    "NA",
    CALCULATE(
        SUM( COVID_OCP[count_ward_positive] ),
        FILTER(
            DATE_CONSOLIDATION_TMP,
            DATE_CONSOLIDATION_TMP[datetype] = 13
                && DATE_CONSOLIDATION_TMP[Last_n_days] = 0
        ),
        FILTER( COVID_OCP, COVID_OCP[count_ward_designated] = 1 )
    )
)
