    Thanks, this helped. Eventually had to replace all measures with columns on existing table and had to use removefilters for datatime column. that fixed the context issue.

Hi sgajjar 

  • Adding a DateTime column can alter row context, breaking measures due to filter propagation.

  • The DateTime column introduces finer granularity, changing row context and impacting the measure's evaluation.

  • To resolve without removing the DateTime column, use CALCULATE with REMOVEFILTERS or aggregate the DateTime column to reduce granularity
    If this post helped please do give a kudos and accept this as a solution
