    Hi ashwani_pal,

     

    Seems you were using a DAX function in the Query Editor that only accepts Power Query formula language (M language) and R. Please try it out in the Data pane.

    SUMX_Function

     

    Best Regards,

Can you provide some more information, such as the a brief description of the dataset and the formula you are trying to write?  I'm expecting you are using SUMX in the wrong context.

Thanks for quick reply,

I need to filter columns from 2 different tables by compairing there values and whichever rows are remaining after filtering, i need to aplly mathematical operation (summation.) Query i am using is : 

 

 

sumx(filter("ERTTReports_RuntimeLifetime_SHIFT", "ERTTReports_RuntimeLifetime_SHIFT.Asset" = [Asset], AND
( "ERTTReports_RuntimeLifetime_SHIFT.StartTime" >=[Time],"ERTTReports_RuntimeLifetime_SHIFT.StartTime" <=[Next Time]),
("ERTTReports_RuntimeLifetime_SHIFT.EndTime">=[Time]and "ERTTReports_RuntimeLifetime_SHIFT.EndTime"<=[Next Time])),
"ERTTReports_RuntimeLifetime_SHIFT.Duration")

 

Regards

Ashwani

    Sounds like the issue is trying to get dax to do everything in a single statement and over complicating the problem.

     

    Firstly, are you able to join your two tables via the Asset column?  If not, are you able to create a Unique Asset list (can be done within Power Query) that you can link both tables to instead?  Once you get your data structure right, we can create a set of dax statements to break your formula into chunks and have Power BI run them appropriately.
