    Hi, Mahmoodul 

     

    The usage of 'value': Converts a text string that represents a number to a number. Obviously you can't use it for data type data. You can use values and selectedvalue instead.

    Like this:

    Calls_6 Week % =
VAR actual =
    DIVIDE (
        [Calls_6 Weeks],
        CALCULATE (
            [Calls_Total],
            FILTER (
                ALL ( ocb_global_misses_master_pkg ),
                ocb_global_misses_master_pkg[country_level1]
                    = SELECTEDVALUE ( ocb_global_misses_master_pkg[country_level1] )
                    && ocb_global_misses_master_pkg[report_date]
                        = SELECTEDVALUE ( ocb_global_misses_master_pkg[report_date] )
            )
        ),
        0
    )
RETURN
    actual

    Reference:

    VALUES function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Docs

    SELECTEDVALUE function - DAX | Microsoft Docs

    The issue is most likely this line, 

     

    ocb_global_misses_master_pkg[report_date] = VALUE(ocb_global_misses_master_pkg[report_date]

     

    you are using a text function with a date, and you can't do that.  What are you trying to do?  Why not just compare  the 2 dates?
