    Hi， konradjonsson 
    If [WKInvoiceDate],[WKCurrency],[parameter1 value],[parameter2 value] are measure columns, try to encapsulate all conditions with filter function.


    Measure:

    ExchangeRate =
VAR _date = 'Sales'[WKInvoiceDate]
VAR _currency = 'Sales'[WKCurrency]
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Exchange Rates'[ExchangeRates] ),
        FILTER (
            'Exchange Rates',
             YEAR ( 'Exchange Rates'[WKDate] ) = YEAR ( _date )
                && 'Exchange Rates'[WKSourceCurrency] = _currency
                && 'Exchange Rates'[WKCurrencyType] = [parameter1 value]
                && 'Exchange Rates'[WKReportCurrency] = [parameter2 value]
        )
    )

I created a What if-parameter, to replace the fixed currency settings (133). I got an error message saying; "A function 'PLACEHOLDER' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed."

 

I do not how to address this.
