Hello Community,
I would like to know if possible to convert this sql query to dax query.
here is the query:
SELECT * ,
Lag(User, 1,'') OVER( PARTITION BY id
ORDER BY Date ASC) AS UserTarget
FROM table
my table is:
| id | date | activity | target act | user | targetuser |
| 1 | 10-Oct | eat | drink | a | b |
| 1 | 10-Nov | drink | sleep | b | c |
| 1 | 12-Dec | sleep | xxxx | c | xxxx |
| 2 | 10-Oct | eat | dink | a | b |
| 2 | 10-Nov | drink | sleep | b | c |
| 2 | 12-Dec | sleep | xxxxx | c | xxxxx |
Solved! Go to Solution.
UserTarget =
MAXX(
TOPN(
1,
FILTER(
TBL,
TBL[id] = EARLIER( TBL[id] )
&& TBL[date] > EARLIER( TBL[date] )
),
TBL[date], ASC
),
TBL[user]
)
| Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |
