Hi sharma1523,

You can avoid by creating table Alias.
Creating an alias, creating a context using the alias, then building affected measure objects on the alias.
OR by Using Multiple SQL Statements for Each Measure.

Fan traps are well documented. Do please take the time to read the FAQ prior to asking a question. :wink:
