DAX Function

Hello All,

I have a question regarding DAX Functions: I have tried to search for a function that simply gets data from another table (without changing it) and places it in my DAX Table. However, I cannot seem to find one. At the momment I am just using the "SUM" function, but it is just a temporary solution, as it seems to be changing my data.

Does anyone know of any functions that would simply allow me to enter the table and column that I would like to use in my DAX Table?

 

Appreciate the help!

It depends on the DAX function and where you are calling your table. Based on the context, the column values will be materialized. When you access a table in a calculated column or in a measure, it produces different results, in addition, it can change if you use context modifiers like CALCULATE or CALCUALTETABLE.

To access a column from a table as it is : SELECTCOLUMNS function should help you
