A measure that makes reference to one or multiple measures is termed a compound measure.
In the given instance, you will adjust the Profit measure using the provided measure definition. Ensure the measure is formatted with two decimal places.

Next, add the Profit measure to the matrix visual.
Now that your model provides a way to summarize profit, you can delete the Profit Amount calculated column.
By removing this calculated column, you've optimized the semantic model. Removing this columns results in a decreased semantic model size and shorter data refresh times. The Profit Amount calculated column wasn't required because the Profit measure can directly produce the required result.
