Sum expression in dax

[Bakhtawar]

Hi all 

I am trying to do this expression but this shows an error 

expression .. 

vMotor_Paid = CALCULATE(Paid_excel,SUM(Paid_excel[PAID_AMOUNT]),Paid_excel[Flag]="Paid"
,Premium_Excel[LOB]="MOTOR",Paid_excel[PAID_DATE]={[VpeDate]})

error

A function 'SUM' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed.

in expression i am trying to do SUM OF paid_amount against filters of these

Paid_excel[Flag]="Paid",Premium_Excel[LOB]="MOTOR",Paid_excel[PAID_DATE]={[VpeDate]}

here i create another varaible of VPeDate where i fixed the date "23-12-2017"

any help

The first Paid_excel is not necessary, try this:

vMotor_Paid =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Paid_excel[PAID_AMOUNT] ),    //first argument is always the expression
    Paid_excel[Flag] = "Paid",
    Premium_Excel[LOB] = "MOTOR",
    Paid_excel[PAID_DATE] = { [VpeDate] }
)

in your syntax SUM is considered a filter expression

hi when i try your expression this shows an error 

[Stachu]

have you made any modifications to the code, e.g. adjusting table names etc.?

is the error in the measure I posted or do you use it later and the dependant measure is giving the error?

[Bakhtawar]

No i did not do any modifications

[Stachu]

Is it the measure I posted that gives the error, or one that is using it later?
