    You can use

    Bridge SO =
VAR MNSO =
    FILTER (
        DISTINCT ( mn_rcpl[ServiceOrderNumber] ),
        NOT ISBLANK ( mn_rcpl[ServiceOrderNumber] )
    )
VAR PUSO =
    FILTER (
        DISTINCT ( 'Parts Usage Frequency Report - Raw Data'[Service Order] ),
        NOT ISBLANK ( 'Parts Usage Frequency Report - Raw Data'[Service Order] )
    )
VAR CombinedSO =
    DISTINCT ( UNION ( MNSO, PUSO ) )
RETURN
    CombinedSO

Hello mgils24 , 


The issue likely arises because FILTER expects a table and you're passing a column expression. By wrapping the column in FILTER directly within the RETURN statement, this will resolve the problem

BridgeSO =
VAR MWSO = VALUES(mn_rcp[ServiceOrderNumber])
VAR PUSO = VALUES('Parts Usage frequency report + Raw data'[Service Order])
VAR CombinedSO = UNION(MWSO, PUSO)
VAR CombinedSO2 = DISTINCT(CombinedSO)
RETURN
FILTER(CombinedSO2, NOT(ISBLANK(CombinedSO2)))

If you find this helpful , please mark it as solution which will be helpful for others and Your Kudos/Likes 👍 are much appreciated!
