Hi All,
I am connecting my data to power bi with amazon redshift (DirectQuery). Can I create new column ? I tried creating new column mentioned below:
Column C = sum (Column A) / sum (Column B)
However, it gives me an error 'sum is not a function'. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You will need to create a Measure not a calculated column as you are using aggregate functions.
