    Hi Heinrich,

     

    Thank you for your detailed explanation and for sharing the DAX queries. I understand the two issues you're encountering, and I will address them both.

     

    The error you're seeing suggests that the column 'PSTN Trunk FQDN' is being used in a calculation without an aggregation function. To fix this, you can apply an aggregation method such as SUM, MIN, MAX, or COUNT to the 'PSTN Trunk FQDN' column. Here's an updated example:

    DAX:

    "SumPSTN_NER_Good_Percentage", CALCULATE(SUM('CQD'[PSTN NER Good Percentage]), ALLEXCEPT('CQD', 'CQD'[PSTN Trunk FQDN]))
    

    Concerning the issue with receiving emails from Flow where the column names appear in brackets, this is likely due to how the columns are referenced in your DAX query. Please ensure that the field names in the SELECTCOLUMNS function do not include any special characters such as brackets. The following updated query should resolve the issue:

    DAX:

    DEFINE
    
        VAR __DS0Core =
    
            SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
    
                'CQD'[PSTN Trunk FQDN],
    
                "SumPSTN_NER_Good_Percentage", CALCULATE(SUM('CQD'[PSTN NER Good Percentage]))
    
            )
    
    
    
        VAR __DS0PrimaryWindowed =
    
            TOPN(501, __DS0Core, 'CQD'[PSTN Trunk FQDN], 1)
    
    
    
    EVALUATE       
    
        SELECTCOLUMNS(
    
            __DS0PrimaryWindowed,   // Use the filtered result set
    
            "SBC", 'CQD'[PSTN Trunk FQDN],  // Rename 'PSTN Trunk FQDN' to SBC
    
            "NER", [SumPSTN_NER_Good_Percentage]  // Rename 'SumPSTN_NER_Good_Percentage' to NER
    
        )
    
    
    
    ORDER BY
    
        SBC
