New way to get measures without Calculating them. One doubt away from solving this. PLS consider!!

Hey guys.

I'm currently developing some financial reports and I have two tables: Financial_Fact (all events that envolve money in or out) and Financial_Indicators (is my dimension table and got everything about my financial indicators).

 

There are two types of  financial indicators:

               - The ones that come directly from my data, so in order to calculate them I just need to sum all the lines that got the respective code of the indicator.

               - The ones that are calculated via the ones mentionated here above. 

 

So in order to calculate this "harder" ones this is what I want to do:

I would like to add a column to the "Financial Indicators" table where I would put the respective DAX formula of the indicator.

 

The problem that persists is to find out some way to bring that formula and apply it. I can only bring the formula as text format. I'm just missing how to aaply each peace of text to become a real formula in my dashboards. Something like an Apply() function. 

 

Does anyone of you got an experience like this one or has any idea how I could solve this question?

 

Tks for reading !!

DAX does not have a facility to calculate formulas dynamically. You're out of luck here. All measures must be out of necessity programmed up-front. You can't do something like EVAL(DaxFormula) and obtain a result. Won't happen. Sorry.
