    The Analyze feature uses auto-generated DAX and temporary behind-the-scenes measures that Power BI creates dynamically and transiently.  They are not added to your semantic model and do not persist in your dataset.

     

    To recreate:

    [Employee Count] = COUNTROWS('Employees')
    

     

    [Employees in March] = CALCULATE([Employee Count], 'Date'[Month] = "March")
    [Employees in April] = CALCULATE([Employee Count], 'Date'[Month] = "April")

     

    Or using dates you can:

    [Employees in March] = CALCULATE([Employee Count], MONTH('Date'[Date]) = 3 && YEAR('Date'[Date]) = 2025)
