Hi Experts,
I am trying to create a measure in the report visual layer.
While creating the measure using DAX - aggregate function Sum(), I cannot find the measure from the reference table.
The measure does exist in the fields section on the right but the DAX does not let me use the measure. Like I cannot find it.
Not sure what I am missing here.
Appreciate if someone can shed knowledge on this.

@Anonymous , If you have measure , then you can not use it inside sum, You can use it inside sumx
Sumx(Table,[Measure])
Sum You can use on a number column = Sum(Table[Column])
Measure takes measure- That is already a measure
