How to reference a calculated measure in a calculated column

I am getting the below error 

A function 'FILTER' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed.

when I create the below column:

Red = CALCULATE (
SUM('table'[CDs Aging Bucket Indicator]),
table[CDs Aging Bucket Indicator] = 1,table[CDs Aging]>FILTER('table',[measure1]*.9) )
 
The below measure works and i used it in the above calculated column
measure1 = CALCULATE(AVERAGE(table[date 1 - date2]),DATESINPERIOD(table[date2],LASTDATE(table[date2]),-90,DAY))
 
I am new to power bi. It will be great if the experts out here could help me resolve this issue.

Hi @robinp ,

 

Create this as a measure

 

Red = CALCULATE (
SUM('table'[CDs Aging Bucket Indicator]), FILTER ('Table, 
table[CDs Aging Bucket Indicator] = 1 && table[CDs Aging]>[measure1]*.9) )

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution! Appreciate with a Kudos!!

Thank you for you quick response. I am no longer getting an error but the sum is not correct.

 

It is not evaluating the second filter correctly i.e >[measure1]*.9).

I am expecting a sum of 4181 but it pulls back a count of every row where CDs Aging Bucket Indicator = 1 

 

 

Perhaps you now have a measures total problem? See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

Also, this Quick Measure, Measure Totals, The Final Word should get you what you need:
