How To use /Utilize this DAX!
Actually I am facing some error
There will only be the same formula displayed when I drag The Dax formula into the matrix or table.
Please, someone, assist me. I can’t wait to investigate more visual
Hi there, under measure tools, you will need to change the category of the measure from uncategorised to Image URL
