I'm new to PowerBI/DAX and not sure why I'm getting the syntax message after creating a new measure and starting to create a vairable.

Not sure why this happens straight away. I haven't used any curly brackets which was the issue with another user that had the same message.

 

Don't understand why I'm getting this message. Any idea's?

Hi @Rashidb84,

 

Please try adding RETURN LastMove_  to the end of the statement.

 

FlagZERO = 

VAR LastMove_ = SELECTEDVALUE(ME2N_in_YSPOcombined[Last move])

RETURN LastMove_
