Hi
I have created Median Messure and Standard Deviation Measure from columnA, and am now having difficulty creating a new column using these measures =
New Column = ('table1'[ColumnA] - 'table1'[MedianMeasure]) / 'table1'[StandarDeviationMeasure]
My measures are both positive numbers, and all values in my column A are above 0, so nothing is diving by zero.
Any suggestions?
I am working using the above calcuation based on the accepting solution to this thread:

Solved! Go to Solution.
Incase anyone else has the same problem, through the link below, I found that you cannot devide a measure by a column, and instead need to create a measure of the column. After which, you can use the 3 measures to create a new Calculated Column:

Hello @ojt1,
Can you please try this:
Standardized ColumnA Measure =
VAR MedianValue = [MedianMeasure]
VAR StandardDeviationValue = [StandardDeviationMeasure]
RETURN
DIVIDE(
'table1'[ColumnA] - MedianValue,
StandardDeviationValue
)
Hope this helps.
Hi Sahir
Thank you for the reply. This calculation does not return anything in the column. I noticed you named it 'measure', which is slightly confusing for a column.
