To add a measure using a field, perform the following steps.
From Toolbox, select Semantic Models.
Select a semantic model and click the Add Measure button, which is the plus sign next to the column name.
If there are no measures or groups, a measure group is added.
If a measure is selected, another measure is added to the group.
If a measure group is selected, a measure is added to that group.
To add a measure group, click the down arrow next to the plus sign and click Add Measure Group.
Click the measure or measure group and enter a name in the Properties panel.
...
Do one of the following:
Drag a measure into a group.
Right-click the measure group, click Add Measure, and enter a name for the measure.
If there is no default measure, click the Default checkbox to make this measure the default used for new visualizations.
Click to show a field.
Select a field from the list or click Search and enter a name or part of a name to find it faster than scrolling.
Click the arrow next to the node name to expand the list and view the field names.
Select a Function from the list, such as Sum.
To change the Format, click the Actions menu (…) button to change the default number format.
Select a choice from the list and enter the desired values.
For certain fields, you can also select display units such as $, or lbs., and enter the value in the units field.
You can also click to select Include Thousands Separators.
Click Apply.
...
Enter a Display folder name.
If raw data querying is enabled, specify whether to Materialize the measure.
Optionally, select the Visible checkbox to display the measure for use in worksheets. If you don’t want users to use this data directly, you can clear it.
Optionally, add a Description of up to 200 characters. The description is used when you hover the cursor over the measure in a worksheet.

If By Measures or By Measures Then Expression is selected, select the measure used to evaluate the expression. Type in the Search box to quickly find a measure or click a checkbox to select a measure from the list.
This option can improve query performance because the calculation is only done if the values used in it are not empty.If By Expression is used to calculate non-empty behavior, enter an expression.
To create an expression, start typing in the editor. Dimensions and functions display as you start to type their names.
As you enter text, suggested functions, semantic models, dimensions, members, and so on, are displayed. Click a name, then press Enter to use that item.
