Do you name measures to find them easier?

Was wondering if people name their measure in ways to find them quicker?  Like adding a # or a convention to group them together?

Hi ,

 

Yes I name the measures corresponding to their use and put them in a measure folder aswell as subfolders:

@JediMole,

 

Here are some things to consider:

 

1. Create a measure table. This table would contain all measures in your model, enabling users to quickly locate measures.

 

2. Use display folders. In Model view, you can create display folders (and subfolders) to organize your measures.

 

3. Use a hierarchical naming convention. If you have several measures related to revenue, you would prefix each measure name with Revenue. This enables categorical sorting and allows you to see all measures that begin with Revenue in DAX intellisense.
