Leo Tachev isn’t down with the copy-pasta:
Suppose you need to calculate a percentage of grand total measure. Easy, you can use the Power BI “Show value as” without any DAX, right? Now suppose that you have 50 Table visuals and each of them require the same measure to be shown as a percentage of total. Although it requires far more clicks, “Show value as” is still not so bad for avoiding the DAX rabbit hole. But what about if you need this calculation in another measure, such as to implement a weighted average? Now, you can’t reference the Microsoft-generated field because it’s not implemented as a measure.
