DAX INFORMATION Function

In Power BI's DAX language, there are several information functions that allow you to obtain information about data, columns, or expressions within your dataset. Here are some of the most commonly used information functions along with examples:

HASONEVALUE: Checks whether an expression has only one value in the current context.

IF(HASONEVALUE(Sales[Product]), "Single Product", "Multiple Products")

This example returns "Single Product" if there is only one product in the current context, otherwise it returns "Multiple Products".


ISBLANK: Checks whether a value is blank.

IF(ISBLANK(Sales[Quantity]), 0, Sales[Quantity])

This example returns 0 if the Quantity column is blank, otherwise it returns the value of the Quantity column.


ISERROR: Checks whether an expression evaluates to an error.

IF(ISERROR(1/0), "Error", "No Error")

This example returns "Error" if the expression results in an error (e.g., division by zero), otherwise it returns "No Error".


ISEMPTY: Checks whether a table is empty.

IF(ISEMPTY(Sales), "No Sales Data", "Sales Data Available")

This example returns "No Sales Data" if the Sales table is empty, otherwise it returns "Sales Data Available".


ISFILTERED: Checks whether a column has been filtered in the current context.

IF(ISFILTERED(Date[Year]), "Filtered by Year", "Not Filtered by Year")

This example returns "Filtered by Year" if the Year column has been filtered in the current context, otherwise it returns "Not Filtered by Year".


ISSUBTOTAL: Checks whether a row is a subtotal row.

IF(ISSUBTOTAL(Sales[Quantity]), "Subtotal", "Not Subtotal")

This example returns "Subtotal" if the current row is a subtotal row, otherwise it returns "Not Subtotal".

These functions can be useful in various scenarios, such as conditional formatting, creating dynamic measures, or handling errors in calculations.

SQL Fundamentals

SQL, or Structured Query Language, is the go-to language for managing relational databases. It allows users to interact with databases to retrieve, manipulate, and control data efficiently. SQL provides a standardized way to define database structures, perform data operations, and ensure data integrity. From querying data to managing access and transactions, SQL is a fundamental tool for anyone working with databases. 1. Basics of SQL Introduction : SQL (Structured Query Language) is used for managing and manipulating relational databases. SQL Syntax : Basic structure of SQL statements (e.g., SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE). Data Types : Different types of data that can be stored (e.g., INTEGER, VARCHAR, DATE). 2. SQL Commands DDL (Data Definition Language) : CREATE TABLE : Define new tables. ALTER TABLE : Modify existing tables. DROP TABLE : Delete tables. DML (Data Manipulation Language) : INSERT : Add new records. UPDATE : Modify existing records. DELETE : Remove records. DQL (Da...

DAX Functions

These are just some of the many DAX functions available in Power BI. Each  function serves a specific purpose and can be used to perform a wide range of calculations and transformations on your data. Aggregation Functions: SUM : Calculates the sum of values. AVERAGE : Calculates the arithmetic mean of values. MIN : Returns the smallest value in a column. MAX : Returns the largest value in a column. COUNT : Counts the number of rows in a table or column. COUNTA : Counts the number of non-blank values in a column. DISTINCTCOUNT : Counts the number of unique values in a column. Logical Functions: IF : Returns one value if a condition is true and another value if it's false. AND : Returns TRUE if all the conditions are true, otherwise FALSE. OR : Returns TRUE if any of the conditions are true, otherwise FALSE. NOT : Returns the opposite of a logical value. Text Functions: CONCATENATE : Concatenates strings together. LEFT : Returns the leftmost characters from a text string. RIGHT : Ret...
