Hi,
A level-based measure is a column whose values are always calculated to a specific level of aggregation.
To create a level based measure as the amount sold by year/quarter/month, you can:
make a copy of the Budget Amount logical column (this you can make by having a aggregation as sum(in rpd in BMM) with the column which you are going to make. ie three separate columns one for year, second for quarter and third for month)and then
-drag the logical column into its hierarchy level (you need to create a time dim hierarchy prior to do level based measures).
-or set the aggregation grain in the level tab of the logical column property.
