Create new table based on calculated functions.

[DionTN]

I have some quick measurements and want to make a temporary table like this one:

Fullname is a selected field based on filters, the bodycomps are calculated fields. How can I make a temporary table of this to add new calculations on it?

Hi @DionTN ,

Are you instead referring to calculated table? There are more than one ways to do this in Power BI. An example where existing measures are used:

calctable =
ADDCOLUMNS (
    SUMMARIZE ( FILTER ( 'table', 'table'[column] = "criteria" ), 'table'[column] ),
    "Measure 1", [Measure 1],
    "Measure 2", [Measure 2]
)

You can use VAR but depending on how you use it, it may or may not result your desired result. See samples below:

The table is working, only the filter is not working. Is there anything i can do?

Bedrijf = 
var selectie = SELECTEDVALUE(company[Name])
return
IF(isblank(selectie),"Geen bedrijf geselecteerd",selectie)

The company selection, which is made in a seperate calculation is unfortunately not working.

Bedrijf = 
var selectie = SELECTEDVALUE(company[Name])
return
IF(isblank(selectie),"Geen bedrijf geselecteerd",selectie)

I dont see any difference between the two measures in your post.  Also there is a second argument in SELECTEDVALUE that returns an alternate result if the original is blank.

SELECTEDVALUE  ( 'Table'[Column], "alternate result" )

Im sorry, i had to add this script: This is not filtering the company correct.

calctable = 
ADDCOLUMNS (
    SUMMARIZE ( FILTER ( usermeasurements, usermeasurements[users.company.Name] = [Bedrijf]),usermeasurements[Fullname]) ,
    "Measure 1", [selectFirstDate],
    "Measure 2", [selectLastDate], "Measure 3", [BodyComp1],  "Measure 4",[BodyComp2]
)

is it also possible to ad a var in this table? @danextian 

calctable = 
ADDCOLUMNS (
    SUMMARIZE ( FILTER (usermeasurements, usermeasurements[users.company.Name] = [Bedrijf]), usermeasurements[Fullname]  ),
    "Measure 1", [FirstValue],
    "Measure 2", [LastValue]
)

Now i tried this without succes:
