Is it possible to reference a measure in Dax without table Prefix?

I am creating measures in a tabular model using DAX. I know that you can't create two measures with the same name.

My question is: when calling a measure in the model using Dax do you have to state the table prefix where the measure was created (like Sales[MeasureName]) or is it sufficient to use only the measure's name [MeasureName]?

No, you do not have to use the table prefix. The only time a table prefix is required is when making a column reference as an argument to a DAX function which is not scoped to the current table (SUMX's first argument, for example.)
