Why Would I want to Hide a Measure Item Value?

A couple examples follow to show cases where you would choose to hide the measure item value.

In this first example, the user applied a conditional format to a measure item. The user only wants the conditional format indicators to show, so the Value property for the measure item was set to No. The user set up a pop-up label on the measure item that will show the measure item value when the indicator icon is hovered over with the cursor.

This second example shows a calculated measure items that display images. The user chose to hide the measure item value in this case. If the Value property had been set to Yes, the expression for the measure item would have displayed in addition to the image.
