Calculated Field

I've used Tableau in the past for clients. However with this new client we are using Power BI. 

 

I'm trying to create a field

=if(count(distinct MissingProduct)<1 'No Missing Products', 'Missing Products')

 

However i'm getting an error. "Syntax for MissingProduct' is incorrect.

 

Any advice?

 

I tried breaking up the calculation to just count distinct products, and getting an error about count function. 

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but please try the below if it suits your requirement.

 

create a field =
IF (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Tablename'[MissingProduct] ) < 1,
    "No Missing Products",
    "Missing Products"
)
