An unexpected exception occured

I have a measure something like below in tabular model.It is working fine when i browse the ssas database. 

 

Measure:=DIVIDE(sum(Table1[Column1]),sum(Table2[Column2]))

 

I am using that measure in power bi and it is giving "An Unexpected exception occured" error. I tried all the visuals but still same problem.

 

Please suggest.

Hi anil2,

 

Based on your description, you are using live connection mode, right? It seems like a SSAS error happens when you implement the measure in power bi. For troubleshooting, I would recommend you to refer to this article: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/sqlblog/2014/12/16/what-is-ssas-error-an-unexpected-exception-occur....

Try:

 

Measure:=DIVIDE(sum(Table1[Column1]),sum(Table2[Column2]),0)
