Here are 5 problems you might encounter with DAX syntax, along with some solutions:

Problem: Using the wrong data type for a column

Solution:

Make sure that the data type for the column is correct for the calculation you are trying to perform. For example, if you are trying to divide two columns, both columns must be numeric data types.

Problem: Using the wrong function for a calculation

Solution:

Make sure that the function you are using is the correct one for the calculation you are trying to perform. For example, if you are trying to calculate the average of a column, you should use the AVERAGE function.

Problem: Using the wrong operator for a comparison

Solution: Make sure that the operator you are using is the correct one for the comparison you are trying to make. For example, if you are trying to compare two dates, you should use the = operator to test for equality.

Problem: Using the wrong filter for a table

Solution:

Make sure that the filter you are using is the correct one for the table you are trying to filter. For example, if you are trying to filter a table by date, you should use a DATEFILTER function.

Problem: Using the wrong sort order for a table

Solution:

Make sure that the sort order you are using is the correct one for the table you are trying to sort. For example, if you are trying to sort a table by date, you should use an ASC or DESC argument with the SORT function.

Here are some additional tips for avoiding DAX syntax errors:

• Always start your DAX formulas with an equal sign (=).
• Make sure that you have the correct number of closing parentheses for each opening parenthesis.
• Use the DAX syntax checker to check your formulas for errors.
• Test your formulas thoroughly before using them in your reports.
