add extra column to existing dax query

Hi I have this existing DAX query that I need to alter to add an additional query to summarize by

I'm just looking to add 'Calendar'[FiscalPeriod] but seem to be struggling with it

DEFINE     
MEASURE RetailSales[VAT_RATE] =         DIVIDE ( [NB VAT], [NB Nett Sales] )     
MEASURE RetailSales[RETAIL_VALUE] = [NB Nett Sales] + [NB VAT]     
MEASURE RetailSales[RETAIL_PRICE] =         DIVIDE ( [NB Gross Sales], [NB Qty] )

You could use SUMMARIZECOLUMNS instead of SUMMARIZE. That would allow you to include both 'Store'[Name] and 'Calendar'[FiscalPeriod] in the main list of columns to summarize by, and you wouldn't need the generate

Great thanks - the original wasn't mine and it looked overly complicated - this is new code which gives me the same result
