Calculation Groups

A semantic model feature that applies reusable DAX logic (calculation items) to any measure, reducing measure proliferation.

Definition

A time intelligence calculation group with YTD, PY and YoY items works with every measure through SELECTEDMEASURE(). Calculation groups can be created in Power BI Desktop's Model view or in Tabular Editor.

Exam tip

Avoid creating YTD and PY versions of every measure; use a calculation group.
