Hi jananagarajan ,
The functions used in the calculated column and the functions used in the measure are common, so if you need to convert the calculated column to a measure, the only thing you need to do is make sure the context is correct.
Please refer below sample:
1. below is my test table
Table:
2. add a new column with below dax formula
Profit Margin Calculate Column = DIVIDE([Profit],[Cost])3. create a measure with below dax formula
Measure = VAR cur_cost = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Cost] ) VAR cur_profit = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Profit] ) RETURN DIVIDE ( cur_profit, cur_cost )4. add a table visual with fields and measure
Please refer the attached .pbix file.
