Hi,
I've inherited a Data Model that I'm trying to improve, however, I'm getting this error message in a measure which I'm struggling to understand let alone fix:
The measure is here:
YTD New Complaints =
TOTALYTD (
COUNT ( 'Cases'[Case Number] ),
'Cases'[tpo_applicationvalidationdate].[Date],
"31/03"
)
I have recently built a new Financial Year Calendar in order to calculate YTD calculations but this tpo_applicationvalidationdate column contains blanks and has an inactive relationship with my calendar.
Created Calendar =
VAR FYStartMonth = 4 --use 4, 7 or 10
VAR StartYear = YEAR(MIN('Cases'[Created On])) -
(MONTH(MIN('Cases'[Created On])) < FYStartMonth)
VAR EndYear = YEAR(MAX('Cases'[Created On])) +
(MONTH(MAX('Cases'[Created On])) >= FYStartMonth)
VAR CalStart = DATE(2019, 4, 1)
VAR CalEnd = DATE(EndYear, FYStartMonth, 1) -1
RETURN ADDCOLUMNS(
CALENDAR(CalStart, CalEnd),
"Year", YEAR([Date]),
"Qtr", QUARTER([Date]),
"Month", MONTH([Date]),
"MthName", FORMAT([Date], "MMM"),
"FY", "FY" & YEAR([Date]) - (MONTH([Date]) < FYStartMonth) & "/" &
YEAR([Date]) + (MONTH([Date]) >= FYStartMonth),
"Financial Mth", MOD(MONTH([Date]) - FYStartMonth, 12) +1,
"Financial Qtr", "FQ" & ROUNDUP(DIVIDE(MOD(MONTH([Date]) - FYStartMonth, 12) +1, 3), 0),
"DayofWkName", FORMAT([Date], "ddd"),
"DayofWkNumber", WEEKDAY([Date],2),
"YearMthNum", (YEAR([Date]) * 100) + MONTH([Date]),
"WorkingDays", NOT WEEKDAY([Date]) IN {1,7}
)
I cannot send a copy of the pbix file as its live data and the data model is huge so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Ps I have a continuous range of dates in 'Create Calendar' [date]
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
You are using your own Dates table and have probably switched off Auto date/time feature so references to .[Date] will not work.
Use the Date field you have created, put it in that measure

Thanks, that was the reason!
