Hi Folks,

Measure = SQRT([Part1] * [PART2])
This error is happening for the below mentioned values
Examples.
Please help me in solving this issue
Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,
Please update the formula of Measure as below and check whether you can get the expected result:
Measure = SQRT ( ABS ( [Part1] * [PART2] ) )
SQRT problem in DAX/excel - too many decimal places?

Best Regards

Those are big numbers. Perhaps:
Measure = CALCULATE(SQRT([Start1]*[START2]), [Start1] >0)
