@Anonymous , I think some text or image is missing after "Now i want to get Sum[Measure1] something like this"

Please share

 

Additionally, prefer to use divide

Measure 1 = divide(Sum[Column1]),Sum[Column2]))-1

 

or

Measure 1 = divide(Sum[Column1])-Sum[Column2]),Sum[Column2]))

Hi,

 

I have Changed my measure as you said Measure 1 : Divide(Sum[Column1],Sum[Column2])-1.

 

My ask is how to get Sum of Measure1. I can't use SUM function because it expects Column Name.

@Anonymous , for that you need a grouping column  from your table

 

sumx(values(Table[column]),[Measure1])

 

Usually, column is axis/row or legend of visual or the level of details
