By default, Power BI will automatically consider a dimension column with numerical values to be a measure column and apply aggregate functions on the data. In this case, we have to manually convert the column to a dimension column.


Follow the below steps to convert the measure column to a dimension column in Power BI.


Step 1: Select the measure column that you want to convert into a dimension (Do not include the column into the sheet by selecting the checkbox, only select the column) as shown in the below image.


Step 2: By default, any aggregation will be applied in the "Summarization" dropdown. 




Step 3: Select "Don't Summarize" option from the drop-down.



 Now the measure column becomes a dimension column.
