Hello,

I am to figure out if it is possible to use a calculated column in a measure.

The Calculated Column counts number of accounts per user: #ofAccounts =IF(ISBLANK(CALCULATE(COUNTA(Accounts[Contract Id]),FILTER(ALL(Accounts),Accounts[Contract Id]=Contracts[Contract Id]))),1,(CALCULATE(COUNTA(Accounts[Contract Id]),FILTER(ALL(Accounts),Accounts[Contract Id]=Contracts[Contract Id]))))

If the #ofAccounts = 1 I want to use measure A, if the # of accounts is >1 I want to use measure B.

The problem I am running into is in writing the measure is I can not reference the calculated column I created to count the number of accounts.
Attempt: :=IF(data[#ofAccounts ]>1, B, A) ---I am unable to reference #ofAccounts currently.

Thanks
 
I was able to get everything working over the weekend.

For the first measure I got it to work using: #ofAccounts:=CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT([Account]),ALL(Data[Account]))

Thanks again for the suggestion to due both calcs as measure. Lead me to a working solution.
