Measures are selected by specifying a measure range. This is usually just a singular reference, with only one reference, but a range of measures can be selected (e.g., ‘m1:m3’), which selects the range from the first to the third measures.
In measure references, no distinction is made between cube measures and custom measures. If there are three cube measures and two custom measures, the first custom measure is called ‘m4’.
