MEASURE

Introduces a measure definition in a DEFINE statement of a DAX query.

Syntax

[DEFINE 
    (
      MEASURE <table name>[<measure name>] = <scalar expression>
    ) + 
]

(EVALUATE <table expression>) +

Term	Definition
table name	The name of a table containing the measure.
measure name	The name of the measure. It cannot be an expression. The name does not have to be unique. The name exists only for the duration of the query.
scalar expression	A DAX expression that returns a scalar value.

The calculated result of the measure expression.

Measure definitions for a query override model measures of the same name for the duration of the query. They will not affect the model measure.
The measure expression can be used with any other expression in the same query.
