Hi All

SALES_YOY =
var _max = format(today(),"MMDD")
return
calculate(Sum('SALES'[SALES_]),DATESYTD('DATE'[Date]),format('DATE'[Date],"MMDD")<=_max)

Today i need to change the SALES_ to SALES_M , after i append the 2 table :-
 
SALES_YOY =
var _max = format(today(),"MMDD")
return
calculate(Sum('SALES'[SALES_M]),DATESYTD('DATE'[Date]),format('DATE'[Date],"MMDD")<=_max)
 
I get the below error msg :-
 

Column 'SALES_M' in table 'SALES' cannot be found or may not be used in this expression.

 

The fact is SALES_M is there. see below image :-
