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.

Relationships between tables

In Power BI, relationships between tables are essential for creating accurate and insightful reports. These relationships define how data from different tables interact with each other when performing analyses or creating visualizations. Here's a detailed overview of how relationships between tables work in Power BI: Types of Relationships: One-to-one (1:1):   This is the most common type of relationship in Power BI. It signifies that one record in a table can have multiple related records in another table. For example, each customer can have multiple orders. Many-to-One (N:1):   This relationship type is essentially the reverse of a one-to-many relationship. Many records in one table can correspond to one record in another table. For instance, multiple orders belong to one customer. One-to-Many (1:N):   Power BI doesn't support direct one-to-many relationships.  One record in table can correspond to many records in another table.  Many-to-Many (N:N):  ...

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...
