Not able to use numeric column in the value field of an vizualisation

[oscarca]

Hello community,
I'm having issues using numeric columns from the tabular model created in Visual Studio as a measure in the Value field box. The vizualisation doesn't allow me to drag and drop the column inside the box:

To solve this I need to create a calulated measure of all my calculated/numeric columns for example Invoiced Amount = SUM([Invoiced Amount column]) which means that I have to rename all the calculated columns since they cannot have the same name. This solution feels utterly bad... but I haven't found another solution yet. I did come across this post:https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Can-t-directly-use-most-of-my-fields-from-analysis-services...

where they suggest to set "discourageImplicitMeasures" property to false inside Tabular Editor but there doesn't seem to be that option inside Visual Studios..

@oscarca,

You can avoid renaming columns if you create measures in a measure table:

Creating explicit measures is a best practice that is worth the effort. Implicit measures have limitations. For example, the function SELECTEDMEASURE (used extensively in calculation groups) doesn't work with implicit measures.

Thank you @DataInsights ! 
I'm still curious though where the "discourageImplicitMeasures" is located inside Visual Studio.
