Hi @robon ,
Sorry for that the information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me.
If you want to use the values in column as variables ,please use the following formula to create a calculated column or a measure:
Column =
var columnVariable=[Session]
return [Session] &" - " & "Table1"
Measure =
var measureVariable=MAX('Table1'[Session])
return measureVariable &" - " & "Table1"
If it does not make sense, please provide me with more details about your table and your problem or share me with your pbix file after removing sensitive data.
Best Regards,
