MdxScript(Model) (9, 8) Erro date too small or too large

Hi,

 

What's wrong with this?

 

I have a Calendar and another fact table.

 

I'm creating this measure:

 

Test:= var last_dat = LASTDATE('Calendar'[Date])

RETURN DATE(YEAR(last_dat),MONTH(last_dat),"01")

 

And i'm getting this erro: MdxScript(Model) (9, 8) Erro (...) 'date' too small or too large

 

But when i use this:

 

Test:= var last_dat = LASTDATE('Calendar'[Date])

RETURN DATE(YEAR(last_dat),"05","01")

 

or

 

 

Test:= var last_dat = LASTDATE('Calendar'[Date])

RETURN DATE("2010",MONTH(last_dat),"01")

 

It works perfectly...

    I found the error.. There were lines only with null in the fact table, in the query i excluded this lines, and, after that, started working fine.

     

    Curious is the fact that it works even with full rows with null when you only use one function (year or month) within Date(), but if you use both, the error happens.

     

    Anyway, it's solved. Thanks!

    Hmm, that's puzzling, I tried all kinds of variations, even putting in -1 and BLANK for year and month and could not generate that error.

    Hi luizzed ,

     

    Can you share a sample file, please? Please mask the sensitive parts first. It seems fine.

     

     

    Best Regards,
