On first reading I don't think I get everything but I'm almost sure you're using the wrong terminology and that is a sure way to put people off (hence no replies for such a long time). It seems you're not after any kind of measure but calculated columns. The description of what you want to achieve is not clear at all. I would have a suggestion for you. Instead of pouring so much text into the post, you could certainly do with one good simple example of what it is you're after. Trust me: If you do it this way, you'll get solutions in no time.

 

If in doubt, please read THIS.

 

Thanks.

    Learning Power BI and especially DAX is a journey. Rather a longer one 🙂 But if I could learn it, so can you. You just have to persist and be willing to absorb from the best (think: Marco Russo and Alberto Ferrari, check out www.sqlbi.com). www.sqlbi.com is the ultimate source of truth about DAX.
