    It would improve performance if there the ability to calculate measures at the visual or page level that could be referenced by the calculations within the visual. A simple example would be to have a visual level measure with

    Visual Measure = CALCULATE([Measure], ALLSELECTED(Table[Column]))

    And in the visual, have

    Item Measure = DIVIDE([Measure], [Visual Measure])

    So the visual measure is evaluated once for the whole visual.

    Agree Just let us create our own implicit measures. This is e.g. useful for creating dynamic texts for headings etc without cluttering the data model

    Good idea Pat.
    An example of a use case where this would be useful can be found here:
