Create a metric from two others

Hello guys,

I need help to solve a problem

I have a month chart, where I show the number of contacts made via whatsapp, from January to May 2022 it is a metric and after May the rule changes and it is a new metric

I would like to put in the same column chart, a single measure

 

I have a time attribute called MesFormatado and the two measures, QtyVirtualAgentLegado and QtyVirtualAgentCare, the attribute is in my calendar fact, and the measures are in my FTRequisicaoTarifa fact, Calendario and FTRequisicaoTarifa are listed by an SK.Grafic.JPG

The report measure 'FTRequisicaoTarifa'[EVANEW] has a semantic or syntactic error in line 1, position 52, reported by Analysis Services: 'Calculation error in measure 'FTRequisicaoTarifa'[EVANEW]: A 'FILTER' function was used in a True/False expression used as table filter expression. This is not allowed.

 

EVANEW = calculate(FTRequisicaoTarifa[QtyVirtualAgentLega], filter(Calendario, Calendario[Data] <= date(2022,05,31)) + calculate(FTRequisicaoTarifa[QtyVirtualAgentCare], filter(Calendario, Calendario[Data] > date(2022,05,31))))

Hi , @Anonymous 

You can try this, the "()" in your dax is wrong:

EVANEW = calculate(FTRequisicaoTarifa[QtyVirtualAgentLega], filter(Calendario, Calendario[Data] <= date(2022,05,31))) + calculate(FTRequisicaoTarifa[QtyVirtualAgentCare], filter(Calendario, Calendario[Data] > date(2022,05,31)))

 

If this method does not meet your needs, you can provide us with your special sample data and the desired output sample data in the form of tables, so that we can better help you solve the problem.
