Abstract

DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) is the language Power BI uses to create content: tables, columns, security roles, and measures. We covered the first three uses of DAX in the last chapter. In this chapter, we will focus on measures. Measures are calculations that your data doesn’t already have. What kind of calculations? They can be anything from a simple addition to a way to conditionally format a visual or to create a dynamic title for a visual.
