This feature streamlines the creation of common DAX measures scenarios, including aggregate columns, count of rows, aggregate per category, mathematical operations, and selected value functions, among others.

To enable Quick measure suggestions users need to navigate to the Options menu of Power BI Desktop and activate the preview switch. Upon activation, users can access the Quick measure suggestions by launching it from the Home or the Modeling tab of the ribbon.

The feature also supports natural language examples for each measure scenario. The supported aggregation includes sum, count, distinct count, distinct counts excluding blanks, average, min, max, median, variance, and standard deviation.
