Convert String to DAX Formula

[matskah]

Hi everyone,

I currently have a very basic semantic model containing a centralized fact-table with call-data.

As this fact-table is used in multiple applications I want to achieve the following:

I would like to create a centralized Formula-Book represented by an Excel-File that can be loaded into multiple applications.

The formula book should look sth like this:

Once I change the formula, the changed are applied in all the Apps that use the formula book.

From there I would like to create a Measure-Table that reads in all the Formulas and interprets these as such.

Somehow I am stuck as I cannot interpret the string as an actual DAX-Formula.

Can anyone of you please help me? 
Or do you have any other recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

Hello @dharmendars007 ,

thanks for your effort and your reply, but that was not what I meant. Sorry if I was not specific enough here.

I already have a table in my PowerBI-Model.

This table consists of two columns.

• Title: Contains the title of the measure (to be)
• Formula: Contains the DAX-Formula for the measure (to be)

Basically I want the following:

I now want to create a measure that gets its information on how to calculate from a specific field value out of table column "Formula".

Example:

I have an entry in my "FormulaBook"-Table that has the value "#Calls" in the title column

So I want to create a measure in PowerBI that is called "#Calls" and the information on how it is to be calculated can be found in the corresponding "Formula"- column from the FormulaBook-Table.

How can I write my DAX-Formula for "#Calls", so that it interprets the Value from the "Formula"-column as an actual DAX-Formula and not just as a string-value?

Hello @matskah , 

Please navigate to DAX Query section and input the measure as shown as above and you will be able to get all the measures in one place.
