Current Month or Current Year or Current Day as a Default Selection

Current Month or Current Year or Current Day as a Default Selection

To allow users to always select the current month, year, or day, follow the instructions

Dax Example

CurrentMonth = IF( 'Calendar Table'[Month] = FORMAT(TODAY(), "mmm"), "CurrentMonth", 'Calendar Table'[Month] )


For the year, simply replace the "Month" column with the "Year" column, and similarly for the day or week, follow the same process.

CONTAINSTRING DAX

Exploring the CONTAINSSTRING Function in DAX Understanding the CONTAINSSTRING Function At its core, the CONTAINSSTRING function enables users to determine whether a specific substring exists within a given text string. This function returns a Boolean value, TRUE if the substring is found, and FALSE if it is not. Here's the basic syntax of the CONTAINSSTRING function: CONTAINSSTRING(<text>, <substring>) <text>: The text string within which you want to search. <substring>: The substring you're searching for within the text. Practical Example: Using CONTAINSSTRING in DAX Let's delve into a practical example to grasp how the CONTAINSSTRING function works within the context of DAX. Suppose we have a dataset containing product information, including a column named ProductName. We're interested in identifying which product names contain the word "apple". We can achieve this by creating a calculated column using the CONTAINSSTRING functi...

Step-by-Step Guide to Using TOPN in Power BI for Dynamic Data Analysis

  DAX Function: TOPN with CALCULATE The TOPN function is one of the most powerful DAX functions for ranking and filtering data in Power BI. Combined with CALCULATE, it can be used to create dynamic, insightful measures. Below is an example of how to use TOPN with CALCULATE to find the top N items based on a certain criterion. Scenario Suppose you have a sales dataset and you want to calculate the total sales of the top 5 products by revenue. This measure will dynamically adjust based on any filters applied in your report (e.g., date, region, etc.). Function Syntax TOPN(<N_value>, <Table>, <OrderBy_Expression>[, <Order>[, <OrderBy_Expression> [, <Order>]]…]) <N_value>: The number of top rows to return. <Table>: The table to evaluate. <OrderBy_Expression>: The expression to order by. <Order>: Optional. Specifies the order direction (ASC for ascending, DESC for descending). Default...

Solving the issue of "The UseRelationship() and CrossFilter() function may not be used when querying 'Table' because it is constrained by row-level security."

 Solving the issue of "The UseRelationship() and CrossFilter() function may not be used when querying 'Table' because it is constrained by row-level security." Error Statement, Problem, and Solution: Error Statement: The error faced in the original scenario was related to the usage of USERELATIONSHIP function within row-level security constraints, leading to the error "The UseRelationship() and CrossFilter() function may not be used when querying 'Table' because it is constrained by row-level security." Problem: The error prevented the usage of USERELATIONSHIP within row-level security constraints, impacting the ability to establish relationships between tables for filtering purposes in certain contexts. Solution: To overcome the error and achieve the desired filtering based on dates without relying on USERELATIONSHIP, the DAX expression utilizes the TREATAS function along with ALL('Date'). This approach establishes a virtual relationship ...
