How Do I Get rid of this error?

I am getting an error for the name of my table. The specific error is "to use special characters in a calculated table name, enclose the entire name in brackets and add a ] to any closing brackets in the name."

 

I  have attempted to change the name to add brackets, attempted changing the name, etc. You will see that the calculated measures to the right are all in working order with no issues. It appears to be that it doesn't like my table name, but I cannot figure out why.

Hi Akon, 

Adding an "=" sign after your table name should fix this. like:

 

facotrs =
