Hi all!
My question is very simple:
Can I reuse variables I created in another mesure?
If answer is "yes", how can I do this?
Many thanks in advance!
Josep.
Solved! Go to Solution.
No, you would want to create measures for each variable, then they are reuseable but variables within a measure only have local scope of the measure they are in.
You can create a measure that contains the variable that you want and then, reuse your measure (that will be same a your variable).
Both: thanks a lot.
It's a pity :-((
I think i would be useful once you already create the variable to use in another measure. Otherwise, it is necessary to create the same variables on each measure.

Well, the idea is that if you are going to need to create the same variable in multiple measures, create the variable as a stand-alone measure. Then you can reuse it. So, if you have measures like:
Measure =
VAR __myVar = COUNTROWS(SUMMARIZE('Table',[Column]))
RETURN __myVar * 20
Measure1 =
VAR __myVar = COUNTROWS(SUMMARIZE('Table',[Column]))
RETURN __myVar / 20
Then you could create a measure like:
MeasureMyCount = COUNTROWS(SUMMARIZE('Table',[Column]))
Then your measures become:
Measure = [MeasureMyCount] * 20
Measure1 = [MeasureMyCount] / 20
As far as I know, you can't use a variable declared within a measure with VAR anywhere else. If you need to reuse that data, consider making that variable into a standalone measure.
Although, I would be curious if it's possible to implement similar behavior as to what happens when you use a dot operator after a date.
