Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You might be able to create calculated column based on columns from different tables, but it's not supported to create calculated column based on measures.

If you need help with DAX formula, please show some sample data and expected result to us.

 

Best Regards,

Jay

maybe you can try to use RELATED or RELATEDTABLE

Hi Jaydeep

I dont want an aggregarted value, I want it corresponding to certain other parameters.

 

Like if you consider the same example given above, I may need revenue wrt each sector or region etc.
