Examples of Different Types of DAX Expressions

1. Aggregation Function Example:

TotalSales = SUM(Sales[SalesAmount])

2. Iterating Function Example:

TotalProfit = SUMX(Sales, Sales[SalesAmount] - Sales[Cost])

3. Logical Function Example:

HighValueSales = IF(Sales[SalesAmount] > 1000, "High", "Low")

4. Filter Function Example:

CategorySales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[SalesAmount]), Sales[Category] =


"Electronics")

5. Time Intelligence Function Example:

YTDSales = TOTALYTD(SUM(Sales[SalesAmount]), Sales[OrderDate])

6. Mathematical Function Example:

RoundedSales = ROUND(Sales[SalesAmount], 2)

7. Text Function Example:
