Unable to return Value from measure to Calculated Column

Hi All,
         Must be a simple fix for pro users like you..My Measure is as here 

'Measure
dYNAMICMEASURE = SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Value]),
15,14,
30,29,
45,44,
60,59,
59)

'Calculated Column
testpiece = [dYNAMICMEASURE]


The above testpiece returns 552004 ?

May i know how i can overcome this problem


Thanks a ton

@Anonymous - Calculated columns are only calculated at the time of data refresh so using measures in them is generally not a good idea or won't act the way you want.

@Anonymous , Column can not take slicer values. So the what value measure will get can not be used.

Just see how can you use measure
