Error Using a Dax Measure as a constant

    Thanks for the reply from lbendlin.

     

    Hi CarlosPelay,

     

    As lbendlin says, when we try to use a measure as a filter in another measure, a syntax error occurs because the measure cannot be calculated as a fixed constant value.

    To solve this problem, we can use a variable in the second measure to store the value of __CURRENT CAMPAIGN YR.

    Please use the following DAX:

     

    Appeals_Total$_SPONSORSHIP = 
    VAR _a=[__CURRENT CAMPAIGN YR]
    RETURN
    CALCULATE(SUM('Final_RE_Gift Detail'[Appeal Split Amount]),'Final_RE_Gift Detail'[Appeal]="BBFC Sponsorship",'Final_RE_Gift Detail'[Campaign]=_a)

     

     

    Best Regards,
    Zhu
