Hello
I wants to create a measure based on a temporary table but despite all my effort I still have the same error
Table variable 'Rend' cannot be used in current context because a base table is expected.
The code is this one
Solved! Go to Solution.
You can't refer to columns from a variable by using the TableName[ColumnName] syntax, you have to just use [ColumnName]. Try
Measure2 =
VAR Rend =
ADDCOLUMNS (
SUMMARIZE ( control_result, control_result[campaign] ),
"comment",
CALCULATE (
DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK ( control_result[controlresultid] ),
control_result[approver_comment] < 10,
control_result[performer_comment] < 10
),
"orby", LOOKUPVALUE ( Campaign_Sort[Sort By], Campaign_Sort[Campaign], Rend[campaign] )
)
VAR numerateur =
SUMX (
Rend,
( [orby] - AVERAGEX ( Rend, [orby] ) )
* ( [comment] - AVERAGEX ( Rend, [comment] ) )
)
VAR Denominateur =
SUMX (
Rend,
( [orby] - AVERAGEX ( Rend, [orby] ) )
* ( [orby] - AVERAGEX ( Rend, [orby] ) )
)
RETURN
IF (
DIVIDE ( numerateur, Denominateur ) < 0,
"↓",
IF ( DIVIDE ( numerateur, Denominateur ) > 0, "↑", "→" )
)
Thank you it works
