Hi @Anonymous ,

 

[Lasttwelvemonth] needs to be a measure(return single value)or a certain value.

If it's a column, you will need to wrap it with MAX(), MIN() or SELECTEDVALUE() function according to your need.

If it's already a measure, please share the formula with us for further check.

 

Best Regards,

Jay

HI @Anonymous 

 Is the Lasttwelvemonth a measure or column?

 You need to make sure the datatype of the [lasttwelvemonths] is set to date.

 

Thanks
