Hello ppm1,

As you suggested, I removed the comman, see below code but it is now giving me another error, we just want to return 1 or 0 depending on condition. Am I missing anything?

 

"single value for column 'Items.Level-2' in table 'Merge1' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result."

IF (

    AND (Merge1[Items.Level-2]="Certification issued by Engineer",Merge1[Classifications.Country]="BRASIL" ),

    1,

    IF (

        AND (Merge1[Items.Level-2]="Certification issued by Engineer",Merge1[Classifications.Country]="NAFTA"),

        0,

if 

(

AND (Merge1[Items.Level-2]="Certification issued by Engineer ",Merge1[Classifications.Country]="europe"),

        0

      )

  )

)
