Convert calculated column to measure

Is it possible to convert the following calculated column to measure?

field widget = 
var minimum =
    LOOKUPVALUE('Virtual Table'[value], 'Virtual Table'[product_id],'Virtual Table'[product_id], 'Virtual Table'[type], "min")

var maximum =
    LOOKUPVALUE('Virtual Table'[value], 'Virtual Table'[product_id],'Virtual Table'[product_id], 'Virtual Table'[type], "max")

var diff =
    (maximum - minimum)
var mean = 
    DIVIDE((LOOKUPVALUE('Virtual Table'[value],'Virtual Table'[product_id],'Virtual Table'[product_id],'Virtual Table'[type],"mean")-minimum),diff)
var wavg = 
    DIVIDE((LOOKUPVALUE('Virtual Table'[value], 'Virtual Table'[product_id],'Virtual Table'[product_id], 'Virtual Table'[type], "wavg")-minimum),diff)
var pp =
    DIVIDE((LOOKUPVALUE('Virtual Table'[value], 'Virtual Table'[product_id],'Virtual Table'[product_id], 'Virtual Table'[type], "pp")-minimum),diff)

RETURN
        ABS(IF('Virtual Table'[type] = "mean",mean,
            IF('Virtual Table'[type] = "wavg",wavg,
                IF('Virtual Table'[type] = "min",0,
                    IF('Virtual Table'[type] = "max",1,
                        IF('Virtual Table'[type] = "product_price",pp, BLANK()))))))

I think you can reuse this with just a few changes. In each of your LOOKUPVALUE calls, wrap the third parameter in SELECTEDVALUE(), and do the same thing in each of the IF statements - replace 'Virtual Table'[type] with SELECTEDVALUE('Virtual Table'[type])
