Hi,
I have a measure that counts the total per account and works well when using it in a matrix as it was built for this purpose.
But I do need this same count to be part of a counting category, so I just tried to copy the measure code into a new column on the table but is not working in the same way. Is it related probably to the different context I have in the matrix visual than in the table context?
Thanks,
MR

Hey @mario_ruiz ,
unfortunately it's no just copy and paste to create a calculated column based on the DAX that is used for a measure.
Indeed, this is due to the different context. A calculated column starts without a filter context but with a row context. A measure starts with a filter context. You can transform a row context by using CALCULATE this is called context transition, but you can not transform a filter context into a row context.
This does not mean that there never is a row context when creating a measure.
Nevertheless, you also have to be aware that a calculated column will only be "recalculted" during edit and a data refresh. This means the values will not change when users start interacting with the data.
Hopefully, this helps to tackle your challenge.
Regards,
Tom
