Using calculated Columns instead of Measures

[RaghdahIsmael]

Hello DAX team,

Im trying to reuse the below both measures but as calculated columns that I'm trying to create in power query as Custom column

1.   # Deals in Rel =  count(DealsData[dealsNbr]) 

2.  # Deals-orig and curr are the same =  COUNTX(filter(DealsData, DealsData[ProdOfcr – first 2 characters] = DealsData[first 2 characters]), DealsData[dealsNbr]).

Intially, I created the first column to do the same job of measure 1 with the DAX in the below screenshot but it gave me an error then :  

the reason for creating these columns instead of measures so that i can use SUM or Count with those columns , because as we know we can't view SUM or COunt with measure but we can do so with Columns as the below screenshots :

To sum up, i need your support to creat columns by wrting suitable DAX that give me the same job of the above 2 measrures (1. , 2.)

thank you,

Hi @RaghdahIsmael ,

Add two custom column as below. Then you can SUM or Count them in report view.

New Table looks like as below.

Result is as below.
