I just ran into the same problem. I wonder why it is disabled for measures. That would be a good way to display images dynamically. Typically KPIs for measures in a table / matrix.

Currently you can set the Data Category value for a native column or a calculated calculate but you cannot set a Data Category value for a measure. However, if this were possible it would open up a whole new world of possibilities and it would eliminate the need to developer a custom visual to for many common scenarios. For example, if you could set the Data Category for a measure to Image URL, you could create a simple KPI indicator that could be added to a Table or Matrix visual. The idea is that you could author a measure that returned strings which link to a set of images publicly available on the Internet.
