Value of the measure. When individual measures are stored in separately identifiable locations, "Measure" needs to be repeated to define each measure and storage location. When multiple measures are stored as an ordered array in a single location, each measure in the array needs to be listed as a MeasureReference with its specified arrayOrder within a single Measure definition.
