Chapter 4

This document discusses iterating functions in Power BI such as SUMX(), AVERAGEX(), and RANKX(). These functions allow calculations to be performed iteratively over each row of a table. Examples are provided of using SUMX() to calculate total costs by iterating over a table and summing sales minus profits at each row. RANKX() is used to rank regions by total costs. Filtering functions like FILTER() are also discussed to filter a table before an iterating calculation.

Iterating functions
Iterate over each row of a given table to perform an expression

SUMX(<table>, <expression>) AVERAGEX(<table>, <expression>)

X stands for eXpression

Allow for advanced calculations speci ed at each row

DAX FUNCTIONS IN POWER BI


Iterating functions: SUMX()
Calculated column example
Cost = Fact_Orders[Sales] - Fact_Orders[Profit]

Total Costs = SUM(Fact_Orders[Cost])

Sales Pro t Cost


$77.88 $3.89 $73.99
$22.72 $10.22 $12.50
... ... ...
Total Costs
$2,569

Filtering iterating functions
Use lter functions, such as FILTER(), to
return a ltered table

SUMX(
FILTER(
<table>,
<filter>),
<expression>)

Total Costs East SUMX =


SUMX(
FILTER(
Fact_Orders,
Fact_Orders[Region] = "East"),
Fact_Orders[Sales] - Fact_Orders[Profit])

Iterating functions: RANKX()
RANKX(

Rank regions by total costs

Total Costs RANKX =


RANKX(
ALL(Dim_Sales[Region]),
[Total Costs])

Use ALL() to evaluate all rows from the


dimension table
