Current Quarter v Prior Quarter BI Viewer - A Summary Expression is Expected

You're comparing a string or date [EndDate] with the True/false returned by [Scenario] == 'Actual'. I suspect you want something more like

If( 
 ([EndDate] == max([EndDate]) ) 
   and ([Scenario] == 'Actual') , 
[Amount], 0)

This said, I don't remember if that Max() operations will actually work like you expect it to, nor whether you can actually use == like that.

    Thank you for the reply ... I will attempt a different approach to group the data.
