Hi, I am new to this community and am trying to advance my DAX knowledge for my job. Could someone tell me what the numbers below the columns represent?
Thank you!
VAR __SomeVariable =
TOPN(
502,
__SomeTable,
[Column1],
0,
[Column2],
0,
'Product'[Column3],
1,
'Location'[Column4],
1,
'Location'[Column5],
1
)
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @TechoGirl0 ,
If you look at the syntax of TopN ,
- 502 is the number of rows to return
- 1 or 0 is the order to be applied. 0/FALSE/DESC – descending; 1/TRUE/ASC – ascending.
Syntax =
TOPN(<n_value>, <table>, <orderBy_expression>, [<order>[, <orderBy_expression>, [<order>]]…])
Thanks,
Samarth
