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...
