Data Types 数据类型Numeric: integers, currency, decimals. / 数值型整数、货币、小数。Other: string, binary object. / 其他字符串、二进制对象。3. Key Capabilities 核心能力Perform Calculations: Use built-in functions for math, stats, logic, and text operations. / 执行计算使用内置函数进行数学、统计、逻辑和文本操作。Aggregate Data: Use SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, etc., including running totals and moving averages. / 聚合数据使用SUM、AVERAGE、COUNT等包括运行总和和移动平均。Time Intelligence: Year-over-year, cumulative totals, date-based filtering. / 时间智能同比、累计总计、基于日期的筛选。Create Relationships: Work across multiple tables. / 创建关系跨多个表计算。Filter Context: Dynamic analysis based on user selections. / 筛选上下文基于用户选择的动态分析。二Why Learn DAX? / 为什么要学DAXExtractactionable insightsfrom data. / 从数据中提取可操作的见解。Solve business problems affecting decision-making and bottom line. / 解决影响决策和利润的业务问题。Create sophisticated calculations, dynamic reports, and advanced capabilities (time intelligence, conditional logic). / 创建复杂计算、动态报表和高级功能时间智能、条件逻辑。二、DAX Syntax / DAX 语法一Formula Structure / 公式结构1.
