The company I work for is currently switching from Tableau to Power BI. So, I'm coming from 5 years of Tableau experience and having a hard time with Power BI right now. Thank you for your videos thy help me with the transition!

4 points summary
1. If you want to slice and dice by a column, use a calculated column
2. If you want to use a filter context, use a calculated column
3. If you want to consume less data for storage, use a measure
4. Prefer measures over a calculated column wherever possible

Just found this video and what an eye opener for beginners like me. I always try to create new measure than add a calculated column. This is indeed helpful! Thank you!

I’ve learned from experience to avoid calculated columns for large fact tables, especially with partitions.

For some reason measures have always eluded me. This has helped, but I think I still need some practice ^_^
