DAX for Power BI videos | DAX for Power BI Part 5.1 - The Calculate, Filter and CalculateTable Functions

Posted by Andrew Gould on 14 December 2021


This video shows you how to apply filters in your DAX measures using the Calculate, Filter and CalculateTable functions. You'll learn how to apply single and multiple filters, how to use the And, Or and In operators and how to work with numbers, text and dates. You'll also see the limitations of filter arguments in the Calculate and CalculateTable functions and how to nest the Filter function to get around these limitations.
