Result from DAX studio different from Power BI

Dear all, 

I'm doing a lab with Power BI, using DAX studio connect to my dataset in power BI. I could get the result when write the dax code in dax studio, but It got failure when I try this measure with Power BI, could someone assist me ?

 

below is the code in DAX studio and it could get the correct result 

EVALUATE
		var temp = 
			SUMMARIZE(all_data1,all_data1[Illness],"SUM",SUMX(all_data1,all_data1[Paid amount]))
		return
			TOPN(10,temp,[SUM],DESC)

Here is the measure which I tried with Power BI , it said "The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns can not be convert to a scalar value"

top10 = 
    var temp = 
            SUMMARIZE(all_data1,all_data1[Illness],"SUM",SUMX(all_data1,all_data1[Paid amount]))
    return 
        TOPN(10,temp,[SUM])

hi @Anonymous 

DAX studio returns a table, while a measure returns a scalar/single value. That is the issue. So in a measure definition, the outmost or last function is typically count/sum(x)/min/max.
