Replicate this SQL in DAX
Hi Stachu
Implementing your 'New Mark' formula, it returns the value of 41. Bringing in the c.id and c.status fields to show its granularity I get the following resultset:
Implementing your Old Mark/Mark Override formula it returns:
The interesting thing here is that the 'New Mark' formula matches the number of rows returned from the SQL query. The 'Old Mark' formula returns the number of rows from my attempted DAX query. Any ideas whats going on?
I'm going through your 'Old Mark' formula now to understand what it's doing.
Thanks for your help on this.
I don't really get the question
from what I see the individual numbers are correct, are the totals off?
The total for [Old Mark] will give the sum of refCLERICAL_TOTAL_MARK[total_mark] where status has one of the given values
The total for [Mark Override] will give the sum of
refCORRECTIONS[correct_marks_opo], refCORRECTIONS[correct_marks_ssv], refCORRECTIONS[correct_mark], for respectively
fully approved, initial_approval and suggested
is it not the intended behaviour?
EDIT: I see some additional customers appearing in the DAX version of the formulas, I assume this is due to lack of filter coming from the following join in SQL
INNER JOIN SCRIPT_VALIDATION AS sv
ON c.script_validation_id = sv.id- Stachu8 years agoCommunity Champion
so we need to extend filters - the joins are 1:1 and filtering in both directions?
this should work
New Mark/Mark Override = VAR tabStatus = ADDCOLUMNS ( ADDCOLUMNS ( CALCULATETABLE ( SUMMARIZE ( refCORRECTIONS, refCORRECTIONS[status] ), INTERSECT ( ALL ( SCRIPT_VALIDATION[id] ), VALUES ( refCLERICAL_TOTAL_MARK[Id] ) ) ), "cm_opo", SUM ( refCORRECTIONS[correct_marks_opo] ), "cm_ssv", SUM ( refCORRECTIONS[correct_marks_ssv] ), "cm", SUM ( refCORRECTIONS[correct_mark] ) ), "mark", SWITCH ( [status], "fully_approved", [cm_opo], "initial_approval", [cm_ssv], "suggested", [cm], BLANK () ) ) RETURN SUMX ( tabStatus, [mark] ) - Anonymous8 years agoNot applicable
Hi Stachu
Yes, I may have been confusing in my questioning.
Okay, I'll put it another way. My SQL query has less entries as there is an INNER JOIN condition between the SCRIPT_VALIDATION table and the CLERICAL_TOTAL_MARK table ( INNER JOIN CLERICAL_TOTAL_MARK AS ctm ON sv.id = ctm.script_validation_id ).
Now the CLERICAL_TOTAL_MARK table doesn't have IDs 11 and 12, and that's why in my original SQL query (see previous post) these IDs weren't appearing. This is what I wish to replicate in DAX.
Your 'Old Mark' DAX query works with the contents of the CLERICAL_TOTAL_MARK table, with filtering from the CORRECTIONS table. Bringing this measure into a table with the ID field omits IDs 11 and 12. This is what I want - good.
Your 'New Mark' DAX query works with the contents of the CORRECTIONS table. The CORRECTIONS table does have IDs 11 and 12. To add, the SCRIPT_VALIDATION table has the IDs 11 and 12 too.
The relationship between these tables in Power Query is:
CLERICAL_TOTAL_MARK.script_validation_id >> SCRIPT_VALIDATION.id >> CORRECTIONS.script_validation_idSomehow I need the DAX, wether it be my DAX table (see first post) or your DAX measures, to only return the rows where the id appears in all three tables.
Does this make better sense?

I've implemented what you've provided in your most recent post. I can see what you are doing, and if I am correct in that, I had to tweak the:
VALUES ( refCLERICAL_TOTAL_MARK[Id] )
to reference 'refCLERICAL_TOTAL_MARK[script_validation_id].
The problem is, when I use the measure but bring in other fields/columns from the tables in the data model it makes it so the IDs 11 and 12 are shown in the visual. This is the reason I was heading down the route of a calculated table. I wanted to restrict the rows by those that only appear in the SCRIPT_VALIDATION, CORRECTIONS, and CLERICAL_TOTAL_MARK tables. Put these restricted rows in a table and then the user can swap fields/columns from the calcated table.
Right now, I can't see the wood for the trees.
I'm digesting your queries to understand different techniques. Although it's not doing as I wanted, I'll be suprised if what I want isn't acheivable but I don't know how to acheive it at the moment, I will give you a thumbs up (kudos) because you have been extremely helpful. Thanks.

hmm, I see few ways of approaching this:
1) include in every measure you show:
INTERSECT ( ALL ( SCRIPT_VALIDATION[id] ), VALUES ( refCLERICAL_TOTAL_MARK[script_validation_id] ) )which is annoying
2) removing the troublesome ids in PowerQuery - but most likely it's not an option? do you need them in other views/visuals?
3) adding the piece of code I posted earlier to yor calculated table
