Hi,
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?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Rashidb84,
Please try adding RETURN LastMove_ to the end of the statement.
FlagZERO =
VAR LastMove_ = SELECTEDVALUE(ME2N_in_YSPOcombined[Last move])
RETURN LastMove_

I just tried it and adding the Return function indeed make the error go away.
