Excel DAX expressions with errors in Power BI

Thanks for the input!! It was the Date table that was causing the issue not the fact table. I deleted the table and recreated using advanced editor and a dynamic date table with the following and it worked like a charm:
let
Source = List.Dates,
#"Invoked FunctionSource" = Source(#date(2015, 1, 1), Duration.Days(DateTime.Date(DateTime.FixedLocalNow()) - #date(2015,1,1)), #duration(1, 0, 0, 0)),
#"Table from List" = Table.FromList(#"Invoked FunctionSource", Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Table from List", "Index", 1, 1),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Added Index",{{"Column1", "Date"}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Renamed Columns", "Year", each Date.Year([Date])),
#"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Month Number", each Date.Month([Date])),
#"Added Custom2" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom1", "Day", each Date.Day([Date])),
#"Added Custom3" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom2", "Day Name", each Date.ToText([Date],"ddd")),
#"Added Custom4" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom3", "Month Name", each Date.ToText([Date],"MMM")),
#"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Added Custom4",{"Date", "Index", "Year", "Month Number", "Month Name", "Day", "Day Name"}),
#"Added Custom5" = Table.AddColumn(#"Reordered Columns", "Quarter Number", each Date.QuarterOfYear([Date])),
#"Duplicated Column" = Table.DuplicateColumn(#"Added Custom5", "Year", "Copy of Year"),
#"Renamed Columns1" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Duplicated Column",{{"Copy of Year", "Short Year"}}),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Renamed Columns1",{{"Short Year", type text}}),
#"Split Column by Position" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Changed Type","Short Year",Splitter.SplitTextByRepeatedLengths(2),{"Short Year.1", "Short Year.2"}),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Position",{{"Short Year.1", Int64.Type}, {"Short Year.2", Int64.Type}}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Changed Type1",{"Short Year.1"}),
#"Renamed Columns2" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Columns",{{"Short Year.2", "Short Year"}}),
#"Added Custom6" = Table.AddColumn(#"Renamed Columns2", "Quarter Year", each Number.ToText([Short Year]) & "Q" & Number.ToText([Quarter Number],"00")),
#"Reordered Columns1" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Added Custom6",{"Index", "Date", "Day", "Day Name", "Month Number", "Month Name", "Quarter Number", "Quarter Year", "Short Year", "Year"}),
#"Changed Type2" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Reordered Columns1",{{"Date", type date}, {"Day", Int64.Type}, {"Index", Int64.Type}, {"Month Number", Int64.Type}, {"Quarter Number", Int64.Type}, {"Month Name", type text}, {"Quarter Year", type text}, {"Year", Int64.Type}}),
#"Added Custom7" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type2", "Quarter", each "Q" & Number.ToText([Quarter Number],"0")),
#"Inserted Week of Year" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom7", "WeekOfYear", each Date.WeekOfYear([Date]), type number)
in
#"Inserted Week of Year"
Cool. I've never seen that error come from the date table itself. Was there an invalid date in your date table or something like that?
To be honest, I could not find it. The first table was not dynamic but once I made it dyanmic it worked perfectly. I looked for zeros, nulls, odd dates and couldn't find anything.
I think I am just going to take this as a win and run with it:)
