    Hi Anonymous ，

    Please try to create a calculated column with below formula to replace the original measure:

    Column = 
VAR _topclient =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Well List'[Operator] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Well List' ),
            'Well List'[WellID] = MAX ( 'Well List'[WellID] )
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF (  'Well List'[Operator]  = _topclient, 1, 0 )

    Best Regards

Hi Anonymous ,

 

Thanks for your answer, i already tried that way before with the result but, i see in your example you have two "JJ", so basically how would you add the 1 value in all the JJ's in the column?

    Anonymous I don't understand why we are all after creating the column when measure can do the job. Do we understand the difference between creating measure vs columns and how it has an impact on the model?
