    You need to use double ampersand '&&' between your logical arguments. A single ampersand simply tries to concatenate text.

    I'd also recommend using the SWITCH function in place of your nested IF statements as it makes the code easier to read.

     

    Weekly Service Charge =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    UnitCharge[ChargeFrequencyRef] = "M"
        && DATESBETWEEN ( UnitCharge[StartDate], 01 / 04 / 2018, 01 / 04 / 2019 )
        && UnitCharge[ChargeTypeId] = 2, UnitCharge[ChargeAmount] * 12 / 52,
    UnitCharge[ChargeFrequencyRef] = "Q"
        && DATESBETWEEN ( UnitCharge[StartDate], 01 / 04 / 2018, 01 / 04 / 2019 )
        && UnitCharge[ChargeTypeId] = 2, UnitCharge[ChargeAmount] * 4 / 52,
    UnitCharge[ChargeFrequencyRef] = "Y"
        && DATESBETWEEN ( UnitCharge[StartDate], 01 / 04 / 2018, 01 / 04 / 2019 )
        && UnitCharge[ChargeTypeId] = 2, UnitCharge[ChargeAmount] / 52,
    UnitCharge[ChargeFrequencyRef] = "W"
        && DATESBETWEEN ( UnitCharge[StartDate], 01 / 04 / 2018, 01 / 04 / 2019 )
        && UnitCharge[ChargeTypeId] = 2, UnitCharge[ChargeAmount]
)

      Same as the old one - it seems to not like the comparison having text and integer.

       

      Even tried

       

      Missed Deadlines =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    'Maintenance Ticket System'[Status] = "Critical"
        && 'Maintenance Ticket System'[JobStarted]>1,"Missed",
    'Maintenance Ticket System'[Status] = "High"
       && 'Maintenance Ticket System'[JobStarted]>2,"Missed",
    'Maintenance Ticket System'[Status] = "Medium"
    && 'Maintenance Ticket System'[JobStarted]>3,"Missed",
    'Maintenance Ticket System'[Status] = "Low"
    && 'Maintenance Ticket System'[JobStarted]>5,"Missed"
)
