As far as I know Push datasets (or hybrid streaming datasets) do not support measures.  In addition, measures are not really tied to tables (ignoring the "home table"  construct for  a minute)

Thanks for the reply Ibendlin. I can definitely see that the measures within the Push Dataset are working, I've been able to build reports/visuals off of this Push Dataset and utilise them.

 

I didn't realise that measures aren't tied to tables. I might look into if you can access the measures directly through the dataset. 

 

It does make the doco seem a bit odd though as it certainly looks like I should be able to use the table definitions, which include measures.

 

Thanks again. I'll keep looking into it.

    I was never able to add measures to my hybrid streaming datasets. You are saying there are no issues with Push datasets? How much history are you usually seeing?
