Error while executing DAX for selecting a range of values from a single table

Hi all,

I'm getting this following error while executing the below DAX. Could anyone pls help me to find to what went wrong?

 

A function 'CALCULATE' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

look at the error and on your DAX statement.

Your second CALCULATE in filter expression of your first CALCULATE is not allowed.

 

Calculate Syntax: CALCULATE ( <Expression> [, <Filter> [, <Filter> [, … ] ] ] )

Best Regards,

Hi @Anonymous


maybe your closing bracket (Line 10) is on the wrong line and it belongs to the first CALCULATE (Line 4).
