Best practice when creating a measure

[AmiraBedh]

I have a measure I use in an clustered column chart, the syntax is below :

CalculateTickets = COUNT(FactTable[TicketSK])

In the chart I added the Status as an axis and I want to add a card for the total of each status

What is the best approach between :

- Use the same measure and apply a filter on the card based on the Status dimension

-Create a new measure like below :

CalculateTickets Test=
CALCULATE ([CalculateTickets], DimStatus[StatusLabel] ="On Hold")

What is the best approach and why ?

@AmiraBedh , Having 1 or 2-level measure looping is fine ( measure used inside measure)

But you need sure about the difference between

CalculateTickets Test=
CALCULATE ([CalculateTickets], DimStatus[StatusLabel] ="On Hold")

and

CalculateTickets Test=
CALCULATE ([CalculateTickets], Filter(DimStatus, DimStatus[StatusLabel] ="On Hold"))
