Quick Measure Error Message

[ivath0]

How do I correct this error?

OutFlow YTD =

IF(ISFILTERED('Cap'[ "Date"]),

    ERROR("Time intelligence quick measures can only be grouped or filtered by the Power BI-provided date hierarchy or primary date column."),

    TOTALYTD([OutFlow], 'Cap'[ "Date"].[Date])

@ivath0 also if it still doesn't work, share PBIX with sample date thru one drive/google drive. Remove any sensitive information before sharing.

@ivath0 are you still getting the error with the code and in my blog post, it also mentioned that date table should be marked as a date table as mentioned by @PhilipTreacy . 

Also, did you changed the measure? It should use Date from new data table.

IF(ISFILTERED('Date Table'[Date]),

    ERROR("Time intelligence quick measures can only be grouped or filtered by the Power BI-provided date hierarchy or primary date column."),

    TOTALYTD([OutFlow], 'Date Table'[Date])

Hi @ivath0 

Having created the Date Table you need to tell PBI to use it as the Date Table for the model/calculations.

In the Data view you should have a table like this

Right click on it and click Mark as date table -> Mark as date table

Regards

@ivath0 can you please paste the code here...I don't which code you are trying or referring to?

@ivath0 not sure which code your copied, can you share/provide more details.

[ivath0]

The code I'm trying is copied from your post, referred to in a previous reply

[parry2k]

@ivath0 you should add a date dimension in your model, check this post on how to add one.

I've copied your code but I get the following error message:

The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value. What have i missed?
