Dax Error

Hi,

 

can someone please help me with the below error?Dax error.JPG

2 ACCEPTED SOLUTIONS

@vjnvinod

 

Turn on the CROSS FILTERING between "INBOUND" and "COUNTRY" tables

 

Actually filtering flows from one to many side table and not vice versa.....

So when you select a region,, Inbound Table gets filtered but not the Country Table

 

However you can turn it on

 

This is how

In the first DISTinct you didnt close the bracket ")"

@Zubair_Muhammad

 

closing the bracket still doesn't helps, can you see, if you can help to rewrite this for me

 

Table = SELECTCOLUMNS(Inbound,"Region", DISTINCT(Inbound[DeliveryRegion]),"Country",(Inbound[DeliveryCountry]))

 

i tried to download your excel add in, but i don't find any link to download and can you help me to understand what does it has to do with Power BI.

@vjnvinod

 

If you simply want to get 2 columns,, you can use

 

Table =
SELECTCOLUMNS (
    Inbound,
    "Region", Inbound[DeliveryRegion],
    "Country", Inbound[DeliveryCountry]
)

If you want summarized results..you should use Summarize or SummarizeColumns

 

Table =
SUMMARIZE ( Inbound, Inbound[DeliveryRegion], Inbound[DeliveryCountry] )
Table =
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS ( Inbound[DeliveryRegion], Inbound[DeliveryCountry] )

 

Let me know what you are trying to achieve

 

 

You are right Excel Add-In has nothing to do with Power BI Smiley Tongue

Its just a signature promoting my product. Sorry for the confusion

I have 2 middle table Region and Country, which i have used it as dropdown in my dashboard and the relationship is setup something like above

Now what happns is whn i go to the dashboard, and select a region from the dropdown, lets say CESA, it doesn't shows me the countries related to that particular region, rather it shows me all the countries listed

 

how do i fix this? or sync both region and country slicer?
