Measure depending on more than eight other measures
"Measure depending on more than eight other measures" is one of the maintainability checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. n measure(s) reference more than eight other measures. It is a low-severity finding: hygiene and maintainability, worth fixing when you next touch the object. Introduce intermediate measures with business names, so the dependency tree has levels instead of one wide fan-out.
What is detected
n measure(s) reference more than eight other measures. A change anywhere in that chain changes the result, and nobody can test the combinations.
Why it matters
Hygiene and maintainability. Fix when touching the object.
How to fix it
Introduce intermediate measures with business names, so the dependency tree has levels instead of one wide fan-out.
