![]() ![]() The summarize tool will then update to show you all of the functionality that is available for number data types. Your WHERE clauses just tend to be implicit in the context coming in from visual axis and category label, and the majority of your queries end up being measures which are returning scalar values under many different WHERE clauses (each category, axis, or row label). 1 BrandonB Alteryx 12-19-2019 12:07 PM kimberlyka please add a select tool before the summarize tool and set your Principal Balance field to the double data type. Overall though, you're operating on fields and tables, like in SQL. blanks can be implicitly cast to other data types). ![]() DAX plays a little bit faster and looser with types than SQL (e.g. ![]() Now that we know the rules, we can prevent this error by cleaning up our data. Like we saw above, AVERAGE() is pretty much identical semantically to the equivalent in SQL nulls are excluded from numerator and denominator. If ALL cells in the column (field) contain numbers, then the calculation type will default to SUM. The new bidirectional relationships in PBI more closely mimic inner joins. In N:1 relationships, the N is the left side of the join. The (active) relationships in a model act pretty much as if everything you do is written with a left join between the tables in the relationship. In DAX / Tabular, the fundamental unit is a table or a field. In Excel, the fundamental unit is the cell, and everything is evaluated in order based on what can become a very complicated dependency tree. Thinking in terms of relational abstractions will be much more useful at grokking DAX and the PBI data model than in terms of Excel abstractions. With a SQL background, Power BI is easier than with an Excel background.ĭAX is syntactically very far from SQL, but semantically quite close. ![]()
