Refreshing data

I have a file which has one column which contains Danish Krona amounts for various products. In order to express this column in other currencies I am using a calculated measure. For USD the syntax is USD = sum(DKKamount) * 0.1143 This works fine and shows the currency conversion but when I close down the file and reopen it I get an error message saying that it doesn't recognise the data. Could you explain what causes this error and how it could be fixed?

Why not you add a column in a table and then use that SUM

 

Make sure to add this as a column rather measure.

 

USDValue = DKKAMOUNT * 0.1143
