Hi, 

With version 6536.1, I am running into an issue in which I am trying to create a measure that has a specific data category. I think this is not possible yet in Timextender Data Integration, but maybe I am missing something. What I am looking for is similar to what you can find in [Edit] options for a semantic field as shown here below
 

[Edit] for semantic field

Nonetheless, we cannot do this for a custom measure because the option does not exist.

 

[Edit] for custom measure

In this scenario, I want to create a measure to make a image-url, however this is not possible now. In Power BI this is possible as can be seen in this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/desktop-measures#data-categories-for-measures

Temporary fix:
As a temporary fix, I now have to recreate the measure as a column in one of my tables in the SSL. Which is fine in this scenario, but could be troublesome with other more complicated scenario's

Hi @spenning 

I think this is more a feature suggestion than a question. There currently is no option to add a measure to a category.

I have converted this to an idea instead.
