Have you ever written a DAX measure, double-checked it, and still ended up with a result that made absolutely no sense?

Yeah… same here.

In this blog, we break down one of the most frustrating (and surprisingly common) mistakes in DAX: when a variable quietly breaks your logic.

You’ll learn:

  • A practical example you can recreate in Power BI

Whether you're just getting started with DAX or looking to deepen your understanding, this article will help you finally make peace with variables and avoid sneaky bugs in your measures.
