Super UserBest practice when creating a measure
I have a measure I use in an clustered column chart, the syntax is below :
CalculateTickets = COUNT(FactTable[TicketSK])
In the chart I added the Status as an axis and I want to add a card for the total of each status
What is the best approach between :
- Use the same measure and apply a filter on the card based on the Status dimension
-Create a new measure like below :
CalculateTickets Test=
CALCULATE ([CalculateTickets], DimStatus[StatusLabel] ="On Hold")
What is the best approach and why ?
AmiraBedh , Having 1 or 2-level measure looping is fine ( measure used inside measure)
But you need sure about the difference between
CalculateTickets Test=
CALCULATE ([CalculateTickets], DimStatus[StatusLabel] ="On Hold")and
CalculateTickets Test=
CALCULATE ([CalculateTickets], Filter(DimStatus, DimStatus[StatusLabel] ="On Hold"))http://dataap.org/blog/2019/04/22/difference-between-calculate-with-and-without-filter-expression/
