Smart Narrative Errors (red underline)

What do the underline errors in the smart editors mean? I am trying to filter a value by one of my dimenstion tables but I am getting either a dashed red underline or double red underline. What do these mean? Any suggestions on how to fix this? My values are not filtering based on the dimenstion as I would expect.

Power BI has trouble deciding if that is a valid column in your data, or a fill word, or something else. You can click on it to help define the correct semantic meaning or to map/alias it to a column.

@lbendlin thank you for the response. Are there any rules to defining the correct mapping? For example, list table then column name, or other guidelines?
