Hi,
in the Sample Report from Micorsoft (Retail Analysis Sample PBIX, Retail Analysis sample for Power BI: Take a tour - Power BI | Microsoft Learn) you can find Measures with a specific Icon in the Sales Table.
These measures are not explicitly defined or at least you can not see the DAX code.
Can anybody tell me what kind of measure that is and how to create it??
I am just curious because I have never seen it before and I am not able to reproduce it.
Thanks in advance!
Hi @MyriamW ,
Imported KPIs are best used in standard visualization types, such as the Table type. Power BI also includes the KPI visualization type, which should only be used to create new KPIs.
Please refer to the following document for more information:
