Quick Measure

I have a quick measure addition formula setup between to colums on two different tables. when i use my slicer to sort things it doesn't update the quick measure formula. is it because they the two tables are not connected in the data model?

Hi @jbenson ,

 

DAX measure are based on row context so any given value from slicers, filters, interactions with other visualizations, variables, relationships and so on can influence your result.

Try to understand the quick measure you create, add a filter to the formula based on the current context, or create a relationship between the two tables.

 

Best Regards,
