MDX Data Definition - CREATE MEASURE

  • Article

Creates a measure in a Tabular Model.

Syntax

  
CREATE MEASURE Table_Name[Measure_Name] = DAX_Expression  
[; CREATE MEASURE ...n]

Arguments

Table_Name
A valid string literal that provides the name of the table where the measure will be created.

Measure_Name
A valid string literal that provides a measure name.

DAX_Expression
A valid DAX expression that returns a single scalar value.

Remarks

The Measure_Name must be enclosed in square parenthesis.

The CREATE MEASURE statement can only be used inside of a MDX script definition; see MdxScript Element (ASSL).

You can also define a calculated member for use by a single query. To define a calculated member that is limited to a single query, you use the WITH clause in the SELECT statement. For more information, see Building Measures in MDX.
