Learn with power BI sample data
- 10 months ago
HI iruobe19
This usually happens if the measure wasn’t created correctly or if the table/column name doesn’t match your model.
Could you please try below steps:
1.In Power BI Desktop, go to the Modeling tab>>click New Measure.
2.Type this exactly:
Total Units Sold = SUM(Financials[Units Sold])and press Enter.
3.You’ll now see the measure under the Financials table in the Fields pane.
4.To view the result, drag Total Units Sold into a Card or Table visual , it won’t show any output until you use it in a visual.
Also, make sure the table name is Financials (same spelling and capital letters) and that Units Sold is a numeric column.

Hi iruobe19
when you create a measure and its written correctly with proper syntax,there will be no response.
when you create a measure and its written with improper syntax, there will be an error message.
in order to check measure try to use visuals.my personal choice is to go for card visual as it can show whether the values is coming in properly or not.you can also try visuals like table or matrix or a bar.keep in mind A measure will not work with Slicer.
Please give kudos or mark it as solution once confirmed.
Thanks and Regards,
Praful
