Below is a measure that I have in a SSAS 2017 tabular model. In Visual Studio it shows an error on the measure. But the measure functions correctly when built.
Error: An invalid numeric representation of a date value was encountered
When I put this exact measure in Power BI Desktop as a measure there is no error.
Why is SSAS showing this measure as an error, and is there a way to fix it so the error message doesn't come up in Visual Studio? Is this measure written correctly? I'm not exactly sure what the error means.
