Why can't I add fields to New Measure?
Please see screenshots below. I am trying to add the field [NUM BUS DAYS] from an existing source but it won't let me. When I type '[' in the Create New Measure text box, the only field that pops is another measure previously created.
Thanks in advance
When I tried to add formula IF(('Scheduled and Arrived Appts'[NUM BUS DAYS]) <=14, 1, 0) to a New Measure
, I get this error:
A single value for column 'NUM BUS DAYS' in table 'Scheduled and Arrived Appts' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result.
I was able to add this formula to a New Column instead and then use it in a New Measure
New Column : NPLESSTHAN14BUSDAYS = if([NUM BUS DAYS] <= 14,1,0)
New Measure : NP14BUSDAYS% = sum([NPLESSTHAN14BUSDAYS]) / count('Scheduled and Arrived Appts'[Appt Scheduled])

Anonymous Can you directly select column name from the dataset after = and check
