Grouping Calculated Measures within User Defined

Questions & Answers
1

This may be simple and right in front of me and I’m just completely missing it… but is there a way to group custom created calculated measures within the User Defined section of the Measures pane? Similar to how, in the “Predefined” section, measures are grouped in groups such as “Distinct Issue Count”, “Issue properties”, “Plans”, “Software”, “Time Tracking”, etc.?

I tried the AI assistant and what it recommended did not work.

I’d like to create and group calculated measures around specific themes or uses to make it a little less chaotic and overwhelming for users.

Solved my issue/question! I totally didn’t think about going to the demo accounts EazyBI area and looking to see if anyone had implemented this over there AND THEY DID!

Here was the solution for anyone else that may come across this post looking to do the same:

In your MDX field on the first line, enter the following line (where I have “GroupName” just replace it with what you want the group to be called):

-- annotations.group=GroupName

That’s it! It worked marvelously!
