variable into code bar

Hi everyone,

I have a simple question:

Why in the bar where you write DaxCode I can't insert the variables of my model?

Here one screenshot to make an idea of what I'm saying.. why am I not able to recall the numerical vars of the row into the formula?

Hi @giroldoale ,

In a measure formula, you need to refer to fields like this.

You can refer to the field directly in the calculated column.

The reason is that measure returns a value, so it is necessary to summarize the referenced field.

@giroldoale ,The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example?
A measure takes to measure, so if you have to use a column, you have to use it some aggregation
Appreciate your Kudos.
