Difference between measures

‎06-04-2019 03:23 AM

Hi,

 

Can anyone tell me what is the difference between these two measures?

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.

 

Thank you in advance!

Top one is a measure. These values change based on the filters applied in your dashboard.

Bottom one is a calculated column. The values for these are fixed by the filter inside the table itself.
