Hello,
I would like to refer a Field from a table that is stored in a Variable within a next statement.
Basically something like this (this example doesn't make sense but it is a preparation for a larger statement.
The final goal is to realize somethign dynamic like in this post https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Filtering-and-Ranking/m-p/193043#M84959
But I I could already realize this i'm on the good path ..
I'm getting the error "Table variable 'FirstRowWithMaxRatioByLoc' cannot be used in current context because a base table is expected."
Measure = VAR MaxRatioByLoc = SUMMARIZE(Sheet2,[Location],"MaxOoOByLoc",MAX(Sheet2[Ratio])) VAR FirstRowWithMaxRatioByLoc = NATURALINNERJOIN(MaxRatioByLoc, Sheet2) RETURN MAX(FirstRowWithMaxRatioByLoc[MaxOoOByLoc])
Solved! Go to Solution.
