Hi,
I'm trying create a column which uses the same formula as a measure I created. I'm using the same formula as the measure because I know it works.
This is what the results are with the measure. The measure in question is "NEW MEASURE". These are the results I am after.
This is what the results are in the table. The colum in question is "NEW MEASURE COLUMN". I want the results to replicate those in the first image
NEW MEASURE = var acceptedmarket = SUM(Sheet1[Accepted Offer/Market Value])
var InsideOrOutside=
IF(acceptedmarket <95, "Outside",
IF(acceptedmarket >105.51, "Outside",
IF(acceptedmarket <=105.50, "Inside")))
var AcceptedOffer = SUM(Sheet1[Accepted Offer])
return
IF(AcceptedOffer < 70000 && [DifferenceAcceptedSpread] <=5000, "Inside", InsideOrOutside)
The goal for this is to have a column of the results from the measure and then create a measure to count the number of records that are"Inside" or "Outside"
I'll add a PBIX of the data file

Thank you,

Solved! Go to Solution.

In you pbix, measure only considers the current property, column looks at all properties.
To make them equivalent, you could add a filter in the column formula.
NEW MEASURE COLUMN =
var acceptedmarket = CALCULATE(SUM([Accepted Offer/Market Value]),ALLEXCEPT(Sheet1,Sheet1[Property]))
var InsideOrOutside=
IF(acceptedmarket <95, "Outside",
IF(acceptedmarket >105.51, "Outside",
IF(acceptedmarket <=105.50, "Inside")))
var AcceptedOffer = CALCULATE(SUM(Sheet1[Accepted Offer]),ALLEXCEPT(Sheet1,Sheet1[Property]))
return
IF(AcceptedOffer < 70000 && [DifferenceAcceptedSpread] <=5000, "Inside", InsideOrOutside)
Best regards

Brilliant @Anonymous, exactly what I was after. Thank you very much
And thank you too, @amitchandak. I appreciate the help guys
Thanks,
Mike
Column gets executed and values are stored in the table. It is pre-calculated. It always has a row context unless formula forces it ignores.
Measure, on the other hand, is the definition and what is the row context is very important.
Refer this: https://www.sqlbi.com/articles/calculated-columns-and-measures-in-dax/
Also, check this file. How the 4 ways, measure way and column way of having date diff is different:https://www.dropbox.com/s/y47ah38sr157l7t/Order_delivery_date_diff.pbix?dl=0
