Can't select columns or other tables

Hello,

 

I haven't touched BI in a long time.

 

I was wondering how I select columns or tables in a measure. As I can only see other measures.

HI @Niels_T ,

 

Add a summarisation in your DAX like SUM, AVERAGE, etc., to refernce a column from your table.

I am sure you are writing a measure which requires summarisation on a column before selecting in the measure DAX expression.
