Hi @Manasi25  You need to remove closing brackets in filter function. See the red mark in the given image:

Hi @Manasi25 ,

In the DAX that you shared, there is a bracket missing at the end. Not sure if it is something missed during copy.

COUNTROWS(FILTER('PTS [Short Description]',not(CONTAINSSTRING('PTS [Short Description]',"GMI" )) &&
not(CONTAINSSTRING('PTS [Short Description]',"PTD")) &&
not(CONTAINSSTRING('PTS [Short Description]',"UTILITIES")) &&
not(CONTAINSSTRING('PTS [Short Description]',"IBM")) &&
not(CONTAINSSTRING('PTS [Short Description]',"CV")) &&
not(CONTAINSSTRING('PTS [Short Description]',"UBIX")) &&
not(CONTAINSSTRING('PTS'[Short Description],"FCD"))
not(CONTAINSSTRING('PTS'[Description],"MSGW"))))

@Manasi25 

i think the parameter after  FILTER should be a table.

maybe try to change FILTER('PTS [Short Description]'  to FILTER(PTS
