Does not recognize the measures even through it is there

I have two measure and they work by themselves.

CPS_UniqueMPNIDv2 = DISTINCTCOUNT(SQL_PartnerStatusReport[PartnerMPNID])

CPS_TotalNominationCount = SUM(SQL_PartnerStatusReport[NominationCount])

 

When I divide one with the other to get a average,

AverageEarningsPerUniquePartnerCount = DIVIDE(CPS_TotalNominationCount, CPS_UniqueMPNIDv2, 0)

I get the message 'CPS_TotalNominationCount'. It is not a valid table, variable, or function name. It highlights both measures actually.

Appreciate your help. Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,
Are both of these calculated measures or calculated columns? The 3rd measure you are creating, is it also a calculated measure or calculated column?
Please share a screenshot of error message.

 

Also, please try to enclose the measure names within square brackets once

I figured it out. Had to reference the measure by providing the Measure table name. This worked. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

AverageEarningsPerUniquePartnerCount = DIVIDE(MCAP_Measures_Calcs[CPS_TotalNominationCount], MCAP_Measures_Calcs[CPS_UniqueMPNIDv2], 0)
