reference visual calculations

Would be great to be able to reference the visual calculation "measures" and use them elsewhere in report.


Liking the new Visual Calculations feature (in preview), and indeed I agree that they can save a LOT of headache and DAX writing to wrap my head around context and, for example, simply pointing to a chart and asking for the max value. HOWEVER, most of the time I need to be able to use that output/value in another way... either in another visual (like a CARD) or a formula to tell the chart what to use for the maximum Y-axis value.


SO, it would be great to be able to reference the visual calculation within a Measure.


I use these sorts of calculations a lot to determine the max values for charts, and they are usually a pain to write. Just tried the same thing with a visual calculation and it was almost instant with next to no code... however, can't re-use that value in any way... so I have to write my painful code anyways and might as well stick with that for now.


Great potential otherwise!! Thanks.
