How to Create a New Measure in Power BI
Creating a new measure in Power BI is key for calculating totals, averages, ratios, and percentages, all dynamically based on filters and visuals. Here’s how to do it:
In Power BI Desktop, click on the 'Table view'.
Select 'New Measure'.
Write your DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) formula in the empty field.
Click on the check icon to apply and commit the expression.
Press 'Enter' and your measure is ready.
Measures will appear in the 'Data' pane with a calculator icon next to them.
