My goal is to understand why the summarizecolumn query failed. Hence it's not really solved yet.

Hi Jeanxyz,
Thank you for using Microsoft Community Forum.
The reason your SUMMARIZECOLUMNS query is failing is due to how DAX processes calculated fields within that function.
When you define "Duration" as a calculated field using the measure [Phase Duration(M)], DAX doesn't recognize it properly. Instead of evaluating it as a measure, it treats it as a generic object (System.Object), which is unsupported by SUMMARIZECOLUMNS.
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS only works with existing columns and measures. If you try to create a calculated column on the fly, DAX fails to resolve it correctly.
To make this work, you need to wrap the measure calculation in a CALCULATE() function to ensure it's evaluated properly within the row context.
If this suggestion helped you, kindly mark it as Accept as Solution and feel free to give a Kudos, it would be much appreciated!
Thank you.
