DAX in Power BI

 DAX Stands for Data Analysis Expressions i.e such expressions for formulas that are
used for data analysis and calculations
 These expressions are a collection and combination of functions, operators and
constants that are evaluated as one formula to yield results(value or values)
 DAX formulas are very useful in BI tools like Power BI as they help analysts to use the
data sets they have to the fullest potential
 DAX is a functional language i.e its complete code is always a function
 An executable DAX expression may contain conditional statements, nested functions,
value references
 DAX formulas have two primary data types Numeric and Non-Numeric

Types of DAX Functions


 Date and Time Functions
 The date time functions carry out calculations on the date and time values
 The data type of these values is always datetime data type

error
