I'm wanting to look at some analysis on my table before certain date, but i'm getting an error.
I'm trying to use FILTER, but it won't seem to allow a date criteria. =FILTER(Table, Date<"01/06/2018") and FILTER(Table, Date<"VALUE(01/06/2018")) don't seem to work.
Any suggestions?
FILTER returns a table as an output, are you using it in CALCULATE to pass filters, or in some other way?
Measure can only return a scalar value, same with calculated column
Syntax wise - it should look like this
FILTER(Table, Table[Date]<"01/06/2018")
