how to have global variables in PowerBI

hi,

 

I need to pass filtered value from one table to another for calculation.

 

Please note that the two tables cannot be connected through relationship.

 

I think some thing like Global variable can help here.

 

Please suggest.

 

Regards,

Deeksha

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Have you tried creating measure that just stores the variable value. and then refer the measure in your second table.  Let me know if this works for you.

Hello @Anonymous 

Global variable sounds like a IT slang. Can you put it in dummy language?

Is this something like an FX rate variable?

@Anonymous ,

 

Do you mean to define a "Global varible" in dax formula which can be refered by each table? If that's what you mean, I'm afraid currently dax doesn't have such feature, the variable can only be used in the same dax formula.
