Hi All!
I am using a live connection to a tabular model for my dashboard and I am facing a host of problems :
When I create a new Measure. For example: NewMeasure = Sales[Value] / Sales[Quantity]. All works perfectly.
But when i try to use Sales[Value] or Sales[Quantity] in other visualization it returns me an error: "Unexpected exception"
And when the measure is throwing an error, I create a measure manually such as [salesvalue1] = Sales[Value], the created measure works but the inbuilt one doesn't. I usually get the error details as "Failed to execute DAX query"
Any ideas regarding any of the problems?
Any sort of help is hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hi @PowerBIAmateur,
In my test, I was unable to reproduce your issue. Did the error occur once you created the report level measure or after you refreshed the tabular model?
Please try below things:
Best Regards,
Yuliana Gu
