How to display a DAX variable table in Power BI Table visual

Hi All,

I am using DAX variables in a measure to:

- Create temperary CALCULATEDTABLE bases on user slicer selections

- Use set functions to derive a resulting table

 

The requirement is to be able to display the resulting table. I cannot pre-load these as M query tables as these are caluclated based on user slicer selection.

 

In DAX Studio query I can do the following to return the rows of the resulting table:

DEFINE
    var AllNumbers = {1,2,3,4,5}
    var OddNumbers = {1,3,5}
    var EvenNumbers = EXCEPT(AllNumbers, OddNumbers)
EVALUATE
    EvenNumbers

 

How can I achieve the similar results in Power BI to diplay the results in a Table visual?

    Download sample PBIX file

     

    Create a new table and display in a visual

     

    NewTable = 
    
        var AllNumbers = {1,2,3,4,5}
        var OddNumbers = {1,3,5}
        var EvenNumbers = EXCEPT(AllNumbers, OddNumbers)
    
    RETURN
    
        EvenNumbers

     

    Regards

      Hi Phil,

      Thanks for the reply.

      But as I mentioned in question, this is dynamic table created in a measure based on user slicer selection.

      Therefore it cannot be pre-created as new table.

        Hi anandav 

        Did you find a solution in the end ? 
        I'm trying to achieve exactly the same thing you're discribing in your post.
        Any help would be appreciated.
