Numeric field: Numeric fields are aggregates that can be summed or averaged, for
example. Aggregates are imported with the data and defined in the data model
your report is based on. For more information, see Aggregates in Power BI reports.

Calculated column with a non-numeric data type: A new non-numeric column you
create with a Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) formula that defines the column’s
values. Read more about calculated columns.

Numeric calculated column: A new column you create with a Data Analysis
Expressions (DAX) formula that defines the column’s values. Read more about
calculated columns.

Measure: A measure has its own hard-coded formula. Report viewers can’t changethe
calculation, for example, if it’s a sum, it can only be a sum. The values aren't
stored in a column. They're calculated on the fly, depending solely on their
location in a visual. For more information, read Understanding measures.

Measure group.

KPI: A visual cue that communicates the amount of progress made toward a
measurable goal. Read more about Key Performance Indicator (KPI) visuals.

Hierarchy of fields: Select the arrow to see the fields that make up the hierarchy.
Watch this Power BI video on YouTube about Creating and working with
hierarchies for more information.

Geo data: These location fields can be used to create map visualizations.

Identity field: Fields with this icon are unique fields, set to show all values, even if
they have duplicates. For example, your data might have records for two different
people named 'Robin Smith', and each will be treated as unique. They won't be
summed.

Parameter: Set parameters to make parts of your reports and data models (such as a
query filter, a data source reference, a measure definition, etc.) depend on one or
more parameter values. See this Power BI blog post about query parameters for
more information.

Calendar date field with a built-in date table.

Calculated table: A table created with a Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) formula
based on data already loaded into the model. These are best used for intermediate
calculations and you want to store as part of the model.

Warning: A calculated field with an error. For example, the syntax of the DAX
expression might be incorrect.

Group: Values in this column are based on grouping values from another column,
by using the groups and bins feature. You can read how to Use grouping and
binning.

no Change detection measure: When you configure a page for automatic page
original refresh, you can configure a change detection measure that is queried to
icon determine if the rest of a page’s visuals should be updated.
