[Sean-OReilly]

Hi

Why am I getting this error and How do i fix it?

Total Costs to Date QTD 3 =

IF(

    ISFILTERED('MK_Resource_LedgerEntries'[Posting_Date]),

    ERROR("Time intelligence quick measures can only be grouped or filtered by the Power BI-provided date hierarchy or primary date column."),

    TOTALQTD(

        [Total Costs to Date],

        'MK_Resource_LedgerEntries'[Posting_Date].[Date]

    )

)

Hi @Sean-OReilly 

This is just an error prompt written in the measure. Where did you use this measure? If you use the following measure instead, will it return the expected result? 

Total Cost QTD =
TOTALQTD (
    [Total Costs to Date],
    'MK_Resource_LedgerEntries'[Posting_Date].[Date]
)

or

Total Cost QTD =
TOTALQTD (
    [Total Costs to Date],
    'MK_Resource_LedgerEntries'[Posting_Date]
)

In addition, I see you are referencing [Total Costs to Date] measure, what is this measure's formula?

Sometimes a quick measure doesn't completely meet your needs, you may have to modify it or write your own measure.
