Same Measure, Every Bar

Part of the Power BI Basics section of Coddy's Power BI journey. Lesson 15 of 28.

One measure in a chart by category gives every bar a different number.

Power BI calculates the measure once per bar, after filtering the rows to that bar: the Tea bar sums only tea rows.

Those filters are the filter context. The formula stays the same; the filter context changes.
