Hi  @Monish2291 

We apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing.

Additionally, it would be helpful if you could include the expected outcome based on the sample data you provided.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Hi @Monish2291 

In Power BI, you're able to create a hierarchy using columns, but unfortunately, you can’t create a true "sub-hierarchy" within a hierarchy using measures directly. Power BI doesn’t support nesting measures inside a hierarchy structure like it does for columns.

If your goal is to group related measures (like Sales > Sales MTD, Sales YTD), the best way to handle that is using calculation groups with Tabular Editor. This lets you organize and simulate measure hierarchies — even include sub-levels by naming them in a structured way (like Sales | MTD, Sales | YTD).

Another option is to create a manual selector table that lets you choose from a list of grouped measures, and then use a DAX SWITCH to display the selected measure.

 If my replies helped solve it, feel free to mark it as a solution so others can find it too. A quick “Kudos” is always appreciated as well.

Do you mean a heirarchy as in a heirarchy of columns in the model or a heirarchy of measures in the data model? If you could share a screenshot of what you have currently, it will be easier to answer your question. 

Hi,

In the below screen shot i have created three hierarchy, now i want last 2 hierarchy to be part of Other Venue Hierarchy, this is the ask how can we achieve it,  please let me know if you have any idea. Thank You
