Return just one column from DAX table

I have a dax table (code below) wich return two columns (sample below).

 

DaxTable =
var d = date(2022,9,30)
var _table = 
CALCULATETABLE(
SUMMARIZE(
	'Table',
	[Project],
    "Measure",
    CALCULATE(
    	COUNT('Table'[key]),
    		'Table'[status]<>BLANK())-
	CALCULATE(
		COUNT('Table'[key]),
			'Table'[status]="Fechadas")),
	'Table'[date]=d)
RETURN
FILTER(_table,[Measure]>0)

 

Project x
A1
B3
C3
D1
E1

 

I need to calculate the same approach and to return just the 'Project' column

Project
A
B
C
D
E

 

How can I solve this?

Thank you 😄

To return just the "Project" column from the table you have defined in your DAX code, you can use the SELECTCOLUMNS function to create a new table that contains only the columns you want to include.

 

DaxTable = VAR d = DATE(2022,9,30) VAR _table = CALCULATETABLE( SUMMARIZE( 'Table', [Project], "Measure", CALCULATE( COUNT('Table'[key]), 'Table'[status]<>BLANK())- CALCULATE( COUNT('Table'[key]), 'Table'[status]="Fechadas")), 'Table'[date]=d) RETURN SELECTCOLUMNS(_table, "Project", [Project])

Hi, I tried to SELECTCOLUMNS to return one column in the table but am getting the error : A Table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected"

DAX Indexed Table =
    VAR __SourceTable = 'Reports'
    VAR __Count = COUNTROWS(__SourceTable)
    VAR __SortText = CONCATENATEX('Reports',[ReportName],"|",[ReportNo])
    VAR __Table =
        ADDCOLUMNS(
            GENERATESERIES(1,__Count,1),
            "ReportNames",PATHITEM(__SortText,[Value],TEXT)
        )
    VAR _RTABLE = SELECTCOLUMNS(__Table,"ReportNames",[ReportNames])
RETURN _RTABLE
