(Livestream Replay) DAX Query View Best Practices & Historical Context - with Jeffrey Wang

DESCRIPTION πŸ“„

The November Desktop release's public preview of the DAX Query View has ignited excitement among the DAX community. This feature represents the first new view since the inception of Desktop, joining the existing trio of Report View, Data View, and Model View. This addition is poised to transform the way DAX programmers approach their craft, encouraging them to write their own DAX queries more frequently.

A common challenge with DAX lies in its flexibility, as multiple methods often exist to achieve similar results. DAX queries are no exception; the community has already begun discussing various functions capable of producing comparable query results. In this episode, we will delve into the recommended functions and patterns for writing DAX queries. We aim to demystify the best practices recommended by the product team by exploring the historical context of their development.
