Calculate SUM of Added Columns

Hallo,

i have a table in BI Desktop from SP and from Modeling tab i added 2 columns (the 2 columns have filtered values)

i want to add a 3rd column (or a measure i m not sure) that will calculate the SUM of the 2 new columns

Is that possible?

 

Thank you

@marial16 , the two-column can have filtered value which is static. Means you can not take from slicer.

 

You can add two columns inside a new column or measure

 

Column 3= [Column2] +[column1]

 

else you need to have all as measures
