DAX overview
Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) is a formula expression language used in Analysis
Services, Power BI, and Power Pivot in Excel.
DAX formulas include functions, operators, and values to perform advanced
calculations and queries on data in related tables and columns in tabular data models.
DAX is essential to creating effective data models.

Excel performs calculations over cells. DAX works on tables and columns, not cells.

DAX formulas are used in measures, calculated columns and calculated tables.

Calculated tables – Date table
What does calendarauto do:
CALENDARAUTO function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Docs

Why create date table?


• Has a SINGLE record for each and every day
• Has that SINGLE daily record for whatever time period you set
• Allows for data consistency in analysis
• Allows for the usage of DAX for Time-intelligence functions
• Such as Year-over-Year information

DAX formulas for Calculated
columns
A calculated column is an additional column in a
table that you define with a DAX formula.

example: To get more columns in date table, create


calculated columns for month and year by using
date and time functions of DAX.

Management of Information II
Mark your date table as a date table
Note: Select the date table>right click>Mark as date table>select the date column

Management of Information II
Data Model
Relate your date table to your
central/main table

Management of Information II
Using DAX functions in Calculated
columns
 DAX relational function RELATED
returns a related value from another
table.
 The RELATED function requires that a
regular relationship exists between the
current table and the table with related
information.
 RELATED Can access the one-side from
the many-side because in that case only
one row in the related table exists if Note: Use function RELATED to get data from
any. If no such row exists, RELATED the look up table into the central table and
returns BLANK. calculate total revenue and costs
 If a relationship does not exist, RELATED
raises an error.
