DAX functions – 3

D. Mathematical functions:

1. Floor

Rounds a number down, toward zero, to the nearest multiple of significance.

Syntax: floor(number, significance)

Example: New Sales = floor(Sales[ProductCost], 0.1) //Sales is table name and ProductCost is column
name

2. Pi

Returns the value of π, 3.14159265358979, accurate to 15 digits.

Syntax: pi()

Example: Value of Pi = pi()

3. Mod

Returns the remainder after a number is divided by a divisor.

Syntax: mod(number, divisor)

Example: Mod value = mod(10,3) //output would be 1

4. Power

Returns the result of a number raised to a power.

Syntax: power(number, power_multiple)

Example: Square of Product cost = power(Sales[ProductCost], 2)

5. Fact
Returns the factorial of a number, equal to 1*2*3*...* Number.
Syntax: fact(number)
Example: Factorial value of Cost = fact(Sales[ProductCost])

E. Text functions:

Power BI provides a wide range of text functions as well.

Some common ones are listed below, along with their syntax and examples.

1. Lower
Converts all the letters in a text string to lowercase
Syntax: lower(text)
Example: Product Name = lower(“TOYS”) //output will be toys

2. Upper
Converts all the letters in a text string to uppercase
Syntax: upper(text)
Example: Product Name = upper(“toys”) //output will be TOYS

3. Format
Converts a value to text based on some specific format
Syntax:
Format(value, format string)
Example: New Currency Value = format(300.59, “Currency”)
Output: $300.59 //US dollar is the default currency mode in Power BI

4. Left
Returns the specified number of characters from the start of a text string.
Syntax: left(text, no_of_characters)
Example: Region Name = Left(“European”, 3)
Output: Eur

5. Right
Returns the last character or characters in a text string, based on the number of characters
you specify.

Syntax: right(text, no_of_characters)


Example: End of text = right(“Three plus four is seven”, 5)
Output: seven
