    Thank you both for the help. Now I found where the problem is. It is because of the reginal setting on my computer. Now I changed it to english (united states). Now the syntax error is not showing anymore. ğŸ˜€

Dear Anonymous ,

 

Thanks for the quick reply. Actually I want to round down the results of 1250 divided by MasterData[Deflated Tire Width], then multiply it by 2 or 4, depending on the result from the if condition. 

I tested in steps:

 

First I only use ROUNDDOWN(1250/MasterData[Deflated Tire Width(494)],0), it works out fine. 

Then I added the if function, then it is shows the syntax incorrect error. 

 

I just start to use powerBI. This formel seems quite simple and works in excel. But in PowerBI I keep getting this syntax error. This is a bit frastrating.

Try saving, closing and then re-opening the file, I recreated the same formula in my file and it showed no errors.
