Can DAX variables declared in one measure be used other measures?

[mstone3]

Hello,

I have declared several variables in a DAX measure that I would like to use in other measures, but it seems that variables only work within a measure and are not available for use in other measures.  Is this correct or is there a way to declare a global variable in DAX so that it's availble for use in any measure?

Thanks!

Variables are measure specific, you have to define them every time in DAX.

You can just create a measure with the variable calculations and refer to it whenever needed, it will do the same job.

Ah yes thank you!  It didn't occur to me that a measure with the variable calculations can serve as a global variable.  Thanks again!
