Something to consider when you as for support on DAX

To all that ask support about DAX, please consider the following:

- in an Excel sheet, the result you get depends on the Excel  formula written and the data

- in Power BI, the result you get depends on the DAX formula written, on the data AND ON THE DATA MODEL

 

Therefore, if you do not give details about the data model, together with the tables, it is impossible to support you correctly. And, by the way, if you say "I have a single table, not a data model so why bothering?", point is that Power BI is designed to work with a data model, so rethink your approach and make sure you create dimensions to connect to fact tables, bridge tables etc

 

Best from one DAX supporter that is happy to help

ok, what is your question?

That was a post to say something to those that ask me and you for support, maybe I should have created it somewhere else

Consider using the blog section for this .
