hist units usa:=TRUNC(SUMX(product, product[historical_qty_usa])/[num distinct periods],2)

 [all units usa]  = CALCULATE([hist units usa],FILTER(all('date'[date_key]), 'date'[date_key]=max('date'[date_key])))

 

Now i want to create a measure like 

[usa sku count] =  calculate(count(product[sku]), [all units usa] >1)

error msg - 

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

hope i am able to clear you the requirement.

Hi Anonymous 

You can't use a measure inside a boolean expression that is used as filter expression. There are certain rules related to this

 Refer to this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/calculate-function-dax

Apart from this your measure [usa sku count] =  calculate(count(product[sku]), [all units usa] >1) doesn't refer any column which needs to be filtered.
