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.

Performance Optimization

Performance optimization in SQL is crucial for ensuring that your database queries run efficiently, especially as the size and complexity of your data grow. Here are several strategies and techniques to optimize SQL performance: Indexing Create Indexes : Primary Key and Unique Indexes : These are automatically indexed. Ensure that your tables have primary keys and unique constraints where applicable. Foreign Keys : Index foreign key columns to speed up join operations. Composite Indexes : Use these when queries filter on multiple columns. The order of columns in the index should match the order in the query conditions. Avoid Over-Indexing:  Too many indexes can slow down write operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE). Only index columns that are frequently used in WHERE clauses, JOIN conditions, and as sorting keys. Query Optimization Use SELECT Statements Efficiently : SELECT Only Necessary Columns : Avoid using SELECT * ; specify only ...

DAX UPPER Function

The DAX UPPER function in Power BI is used to convert all characters in a text string to uppercase. This function is useful for standardizing text data, ensuring consistency in text values, and performing case-insensitive comparisons. Syntax: UPPER(<text>) <text>: The text string that you want to convert to uppercase. Purpose: The UPPER function helps ensure that text data is consistently formatted in uppercase. This can be essential for tasks like data cleaning, preparing text for comparisons, and ensuring uniformity in text-based fields. E xample: Suppose you have a table named "Customers" with a column "Name" that contains names in mixed case. You want to create a new column that shows all names in uppercase. UppercaseName = UPPER(Customers[Name]) Example Scenario: Assume you have the following "Customers" table: You can use the UPPER function as follows: Using the UPPER function, you can convert all names to uppercase: UppercaseName = ...
