Do you want to see this in practice? You can watch the YouTube tutorial here: In the YouTube short video titled How To Organize Measures In Power BI. I explained every step one by one.

Introduction

We’ll explore how to organize Power BI measures in a way that makes your reports cleaner and easier to manage. Would you prefer to see all your metrics in a cluttered form, or in a simple and structured way? Let’s check it out together.

Transferring the Single Selected Metric

When you have only a single measure, you can host it directly inside the related table. For example, if you create a profit measure in the Sales table, it can stay there without any issue. However, when you have multiple measures, it becomes much harder to track.

From the “Home Table” setting on the left side, you can move your measures into the Metrics table you created.

Building a Folder Structure

If you want even more organization, you can group measures into folders. Select your measures, then assign them to a display folder.

For example, you could create a folder called Sales for revenue and profit measures, and another folder called Quantity for volume-related metrics. This folder structure inside your Measures table gives a much more structured model.

Conclusion

Organizing measures in Power BI is a small step that creates a huge impact on report usability. With a combination of calculated tables and folder structures, you can make your reports look cleaner, improve maintainability, and help stakeholders quickly find the KPIs they need.
