Add a measure to column in matrix

I have a measure that calculates a revenue group based on a LTM measure of revenue. I am trying to create a chart that shows the % change of these groups over time. I can't move the measure into the column field in a matrix. It does not work. I created a calculated column, which I could drag to the column, but it is not dynamic. It shows the same # of employees regardless of what month it is. 

 

I was able to create a chart in a pivot table easily using this method, but it doesn't work for PBI.

Here's my measure

TTM Rev Group Bucket Dlvry = SWITCH(TRUE(), 
            AND([TTM MA Dlvrd Rev]>=0,[TTM MA Dlvrd Rev]=0), BLANK(),
            AND([TTM MA Dlvrd Rev]>=0,[TTM MA Dlvrd Rev]<=750000), "$0K - $750K",
            AND([TTM MA Dlvrd Rev]>=0,[TTM MA Dlvrd Rev]<=1500000), "$750K- $1.5M",
            AND([TTM MA Dlvrd Rev]>=0,[TTM MA Dlvrd Rev]>1500000), ">$1.5M")
Which is referencing this measure:
 
Gives me a TTM revenue total, which I am grouping into buckets above. I can show these buckets at the individual level, but when I try to summarize them (% of total population) I run into issues if I want to trend it over time. 
TTM MA Dlvrd Rev =
CALCULATE (
    [Total Revenue],
    DATESBETWEEN (
        'Calendar'[Date],
        NEXTDAY ( SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( LASTDATE ( 'Calendar'[Date] ) ) ),
        LASTDATE ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
    )
)

Have a farily complicated model with 13 tables. 
 
The two tables is a sales table and a headcount table.
