Hello All,
I'm writing this to seek your assistance to help me understand how this measure can be performed 🙂
Please check the the images and adivse how can I get this result. (I didn't find VAR in the DAX suggestions but I found other types of VAR+s/p ect.,)
Many thanks 🙂

This measure... WHICH MEASURE? I'm trying to guess from the pictures... The only sensible guess would be you want a measure that will show the ratio of all currently visible purchases to 4-legged animals. If this IS the case, then:
[Total Quantity] = SUM( Purchase[Quantity] )
[FourLeggedRatio] =
var __4leggedQty =
CALCULATE(
[Total Quantity],
'Product'[Legs] = 4
)
var __totalQty = [Total Quantity]
var __ratio =
DIVIDE(
__totalQty,
__4leggedQty
)
return
__ratio
Is this what you wanted?
Best

Thank you @Anonymous I appreciate your reply and I'm sorry for not being sufficiently clear.
I just would like to perform the same function shown above in the image in only one step.
I'm unable to write all those functions in the same tab, as you see in the right part of the page "All measures" contains only one measure "FourLeggedRatio" and in the left part you can see that they peformed four comands in only one measure.
Hello @Trooz ,
Is your objective is to understand how the DAX measure you have posted is working and why you can't find VAR in the DAX intellisense list? Please confirm.
You will not get VAR in the DAX intellisense list. The common syntax is:
[Measure Name/Calculated Column Name] =
VAR [VariableName1] = Expression1
VAR [VariableName2] = Expression2
RETURN
Expression3
VAR.P and VAR.S is formula for calculating variance of population and sample respectively.
Cheers!

@vivran22 hi Vivran
thank you for your reply 🙂 , yes I want to apply the same function in power BI, as shown in the images they wrote four commands un the same function/DAX.
You told me that I cannot find "VAR" but in the examole above I don't know how they got it.
When I said that you cannot find VAR in PBI, I meant you will not get it in the intellisence suggestions. VAR is a short form of Variable, which stores the result of an expression.
