Power BI Filter Function Error

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can help me?!

I created a measure and would like to use the filter function to exclude future month's, however I get a 'Operator or expression '()' not supported in this context' error, the measure works without the filter function but not with it, any ideas why?

 

Thanks in advance

Failed_SLA = (

    calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT(Job[Id]),Job[Failed]=1)

        /

     Calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT(Job[Number]),Job[Status]=4)+Calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT(Job[Number]),Job[Status]=5)),

     Filter (JOB, MONTH(Job[Date].[Month]) <= MONTH(today()))

     )

@CSPedrao ,

You need to modify the logic as given below

Failed_SLA = 
    calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT(Job[Id]),Filter (JOB, MONTH(Job[Date]) <= MONTH(today()) && Job[Failed]=1))
        /
     Calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT(Job[Number]),Filter (JOB, MONTH(Job[Date]) <= MONTH(today()) && Job[Status]=4))+Calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT(Job[Number]),Filter (JOB, MONTH(Job[Date]) <= MONTH(today()) && Job[Status]=5))

@CSPedrao ,

 

try it like this 

 

Failed_SLA = 

    calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT(Job[Id]),Job[Failed]=1)

        /

     Calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT(Job[Number]),Job[Status]=4)+Calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT(Job[Number]),Job[Status]=5)),

     Filter (JOB, MONTH(Job[Date].[Month]) <= MONTH(today()))

Hi,

It made no difference, still gives me the same message 'Operator or expression '()' is not supported in this context'.

 

Thanks anyway!
