Hi,

 

Measure can be created out of column based on some aggregations like SUM, MAX, AVG. You can use DAX expression for the same. You can have only one value for measure and you can slice that based on data.

In addition, you can take a look at the sample below. We create a measure use MAX() function to return the maximum value of [Value].
