Hi @jonnyA ,

Believe that by the error you are showing that you are creating a measure when doing that you need to do an aggregation that is why it's not working.

Try to use the same formula but as a column.

Just one additional tip on DAX you should always refer the measures and columns accordingly to the notation below:

Column - Table[ColumnName]
Measure - [MeasureName]

If you do it like this you will identify faster the use of measures or columns in your formulas.

 

If I have misunderstood your meaning, please provide your pbix file without privacy information and your desired output.

@jonnyA , Seem like you are using the dataset that has some problem. Publish it again and check. I think one measure is missing.
