I have a Dax formula that is not working as expected and I need help figuring out why.



here is the formula:=
CALCULATE(SUM('2016 Transactions'[Book Value]))

I get an error that sum cannot work on a string which makes sense except that I have formatted the data as decimal. How do I force that field to be numeric instead of string?

Thanks

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Good News, I saved the workbook and then the formula worked. But now the formula is only summing the current row when I expected it to sum all rows..

Any idea would be very much appreciated.
