The formula is incomplete

[Hennie7863]

HI I'm trying to follow the tutorial : https://support.powerbi.com/knowledgebase/articles/471597 and I'm getting the error that the formula is incomplete....

It is in the Add custom column window and it happens when i drag one field in the window.

[Order_Details.UnitPrice]

for instance....really frustrating that I'm keep getting this error.

Can someone help me with this???

Do you have an "=" in front of it:

Formula should be:

=[Orders.Detail...

It should start with "=" operator. Can you share a screenshot?

Hi HarrisMalik,

your formula should be:                              LineTotal = [Order_Details.UnitPrice] * [Order_Details.Quantity]

Is it like this?

[HarrisMalik]

@Anonymous Yes it is correct. Here LineTotal is the name of calcuated column

Hennie,

I just walked through the tutorial with no issues...

The only thing I didn't see explicitly stated that I did prior to loading the Orders data set was to select the "close and load" to save that prior to loading the next data set ... are you forgetting the ' *  ' between the two fields?

Can you reply with the actual formula that you are inputting?
