Help with VAR formula

Hello

I have a functioning measure that refers to several measures from outside.  This is the functioning measure

Projected Cost (Input):=If(HASONEVALUE('Job-Phase'[JHP_OBJECT_ORASEQ]),[Old Projected Cost (Input)],SUMX(VALUES('Job-Phase'[JHP_OBJECT_ORASEQ]),CALCULATE(([Old Projected Cost (Input)]))))

 

I am trying to bring in the Old Projected Cost(input) as variable in the new formula

 

Projected Cost2(Input) :=
VAR ProjectedQuantitywithfilter =
    IF (
        [Quantity] > [Actual Output Quantity - To Date],
        [Quantity],
        [Actual Output Quantity - To Date]
    )
VAR RemainingQty = ProjectedQuantitywithfilter - [Actual Output Quantity - To Date]
VAR ProjectedCostInputwithfiltercontext =
    IF (
        ( RemainingQty * [Unit Cost - To Date] ) + [Actual Input Cost - To Date] = 0,
        [Current Budget Cost (Input)] + [Unposted PCI Cost (Input)],
        ( RemainingQty * [Unit Cost - To Date] ) + [Actual Input Cost - To Date]
    )
VAR ProjectedCostInputwithoutfiltercontext =
    SUMX (
        VALUES ( 'Job-Phase'[JHP_OBJECT_ORASEQ] ),
        CALCULATE ( ProjectedCostInputwithfiltercontext )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        HASONEVALUE ( 'Job-Phase'[JHP_OBJECT_ORASEQ] ),
        ProjectedCostInputwithfiltercontext,
        ProjectedCostInputwithoutfiltercontext
    )
 
 
The measure fails when there is no filter context:JHP_OBJECT_ORASEQ.
Can anyone help me tweak this measure

    Hi svishwanathan ,

    I still have a little confused about your scenario, which measure do you have problem? Projected Cost2(Input) or Old Projected Cost(input) as variable ? 

    It seems that there is no syntax error for your formulas.

    If it is convenient could you share some data sample and your desired output so that we could help further on it? Or, ideally, share the pbix (beware of confidential data)

    Best Regards,

    Cherry
