DAX NOT Function

The DAX NOT function in Power BI is used to reverse the logical value of an expression. It returns TRUE if the input expression evaluates to FALSE, and FALSE if the input expression evaluates to TRUE. This function is useful for creating conditions where you need the opposite of a given logical expression.

Syntax:

NOT(<logical>)

<logical>: The condition or expression to be negated.

Purpose:

The NOT function allows you to negate a logical condition. This can be essential when you want to create conditions that exclude specific criteria or reverse the outcome of a logical test.

Example:

Suppose you have a table named "Sales" with columns "Product", "Revenue", and "UnitsSold". You want to create a new column that flags sales as "Not High Revenue" if the revenue is not greater than 200.

You can use the NOT function as follows:

NotHighRevenue = IF(NOT(Sales[Revenue] > 200), "Yes", "No")

This formula creates a new column named "NotHighRevenue" that assigns "Yes" if the revenue is not greater than 200, and "No" otherwise.

Example Scenario:

Consider the following "Sales" table with columns "Product", "SalesAmount", and "Cost".

We want to create a new calculated column called "HighCost" that indicates whether the cost is not less than 100 (i.e., the cost is 100 or more).

HighCost = NOT(Sales[Cost] < 100)

The resulting table would be:

Combining NOT with IF Function

For a more meaningful result, we can combine the NOT function with the IF function:

HighCost = IF(NOT(Sales[Cost] < 100), "High Cost", "Low Cost")

In this example, rows where the cost is 100 or more are labeled "High Cost", and rows where the cost is less than 100 are labeled "Low Cost". This demonstrates how the NOT function can be used to reverse the logical condition in a DAX formula.

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...
