Working With Measures
note
If you have already been upgraded to Technology Intelligence Platform, information in this section is applicable to you. With Technology Intelligence Platform, out-of-the-box IT Visibility dashboards are being replaced with new, enhanced IT Visibility Technology Intelligence Platform reports.
Measures are dynamic calculations that provide meaningful insights into the dataset. They are created using Data Analysis Expressions (DAX), a powerful formula language designed specifically for working with data in Power BI. Measures are commonly used in reports and visualizations to perform aggregations, comparisons, or other calculations based on the data in your model.
The following are some examples of using measures:
-
#Installs = COUNT( 'Installed Software'[Id])
-
#Devices = COUNT( 'Device'[Id])
You can easily drag and drop measures into your visuals to create an interactive and insightful report. To help you identify measures, the Measures suffix is added to their names in the corresponding table. The following tables contain measures:
-
Device Measures
-
Software Measures
-
Vulnerability Measures
note
Not all measures are visible by default. Some measures are hidden and can be enabled upon request. If you would like the measures enabled, contact Flexera Support. For more information, see Contacting Flexera Support.
You can create a report based on their types: Hardware, Software, or Vulnerabilities.
-
When creating a Hardware report, the Device and Virtual Machine tables act as a joining link between all other tables. There is no direct relationship between the Device and Virtual Machine tables. As a result avoid using fields from both tables in a single visual.
- For example, use the #Devices measure listed in the Device Measures table and for virtual machine information, use the #Virtual Machine measure listed in the Device Measures table.
-
When creating a Software report, the Installed Software table is the joining link between all other tables. Therefore, it is recommended to use the #Installs measure from the Software Measures table to create a visual.
-
When creating a Vulnerabilities report, the Vulnerability and Vulnerability Advisory tables act as a joining link between all other tables. There is no direct relationship between the Vulnerability and Vulnerability Advisory tables. As a result avoid using fields from both tables in a single visual.
- For example, for Secunia-related information, use the Total Vulnerabilities with Secunia Advisory measure listed in the Secunia Advisory sub folder and for vulnerabilities related information, use the Total Vulnerabilities measure listed in the Vulnerability sub folder. Both Secunia Advisory and Vulnerability sub folders are listed in the Vulnerability Measures table.
