New Measure error msg: Not sure how to address this msg?
The syntax for 'actual' is incorrect. (DAX(datediff(manufacture actual end date,manufacture actual start date,day))).
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @v-diye-msft ,
Thanks for your reply. I figured it out!
The error msg had to do with how I referenced the date fields from my table. Thanks,

Hi @Anonymous ,
Could you please let us know what does "manufacture actual end date"&"manufacture actual start date" represent? If they're measures or columns?
I think it should prabably refer to the usage of Datediff, please see the official document making sure you applied it in the right way: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/datediff-function-dax
if the issue still exist, it's preferred to share us your detailed data that would be easier for us to find the point.
Best regards,
Dina Ye
