Difference between measures - Fields

Question

Hi,&nbsp;Can anyone tell me what is the difference between these two measures?I've used the same DAX formula, but still power BI is making some differnce and I don't know why. I have problem when I want to use one of measures, I get error that it can't be used.&nbsp;Thank you in advance!

Hi&nbsp;Anonymous&nbsp;The one that looks like a calcuator is a Measure and the other one is a Column, to find out more please check this article&nbsp;https://www.sqlbi.com/articles/calculated-columns-and-measures-in-dax/Regards,MariuszIf this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

Thank you&nbsp;Mariusz&nbsp;!&nbsp;I've created both of them via New quick measure, how is possible that one is created as column and the other one as measure?&nbsp;Regards,Milena&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;Anonymous&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm surprised that it did retun a column, but anyway if one of them works just use it as long as it gives you the resoult you need.Many ThanksMariusz
