DAX query does not show measure columns?


In my Power BI project, I have a simple data source that has 10 measures calculated from six regular columns. I also have this very simple query in DAX to evaluate the table:

EVALUATE TOPN(100, 'mytable')

When this query runs, only the natural columns are shown. None of the measures are shown. I have double checked to make sure that the measures are visible. They are not marked as hidden. So I don't understand why I can't see the measures.

Ideas?


Solution

  • Measures are logical representation in DAX queries. In order to view the measures we need to explicitly mention the DAX query like below.

    EVALUATE
    SUMMARIZE(
        'mytable',
        'mytable'[Column1],
        'mytable'[Column2],
        'mytable'[Column3],
        'mytable'[Column4],
        'mytable'[Column5],
        'mytable'[Column6],
        "Measure1", [Measure1],
        "Measure2", [Measure2],
        "Measure3", [Measure3],
        "Measure4", [Measure4],
        "Measure5", [Measure5],
        "Measure6", [Measure6],
        "Measure7", [Measure7],
        "Measure8", [Measure8],
        "Measure9", [Measure9],
        "Measure10", [Measure10]
    )
