Visual Measure vs Visual Column

Visual Measure:

  • With Inforiver, you can insert a new calculated column or measure at the visual level in a table or matrix without writing DAX.

  • A visual measure behaves like a regular measure that we create with the help of DAX and appears beneath all hierarchies.

  • It allows you to perform calculations directly within the visual without the need to write DAX code or modify the underlying data model.

Note: while creating visual measure , references section only list the measures available in your report. Refer the image below.


Visual Column:

  • A visual column is similar to a visual measure but appears at the end, outside any displayed category or category hierarchies.

  • Previously, when creating a new measure, the references section listed only available measures like Sales 2021 and Sales 2022. However, it now includes every instance of individual measures, such as Q4 - Sales 2022, Q3 - Sales 2022, and more.
