I am struggling with the above - it looks ok but its not working... A function 'FILTER' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed. Please could anyone help?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Believe your syntax for using SUMX is incorrect. Please try this:
Spec3£1 =
SUMX( FILTER('POD Report','POD Report'[Site Attended?] = "Site attended but no work carried out - Customer Fault" || ('POD Report'[Site Attended?] = "Yes" && 'POD Report'[3. Spec Done?] = "Yes")),
[3. Spec Price] )
Or I think you can simply use SUM:
Spec3£1_SUM = CALCULATE(
SUM( 'POD Report'[3. Spec Price]),
FILTER('POD Report','POD Report'[Site Attended?] = "Site attended but no work carried out - Customer Fault" || ('POD Report'[Site Attended?] = "Yes" && 'POD Report'[3. Spec Done?] = "Yes")))
to perhaps achieve the same result.
Hope one of these provides a solution to your issue:
Regards,
That has worked thank you so very much.
