Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) is the native formula and query language for Microsoft PowerPivot, Power BI Desktop and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) Tabular models. DAX includes some of the functions that are used in Excel formulas with additional functions that are designed to work with relational data and perform dynamic aggregation.
A new dimension row is added with the new state of the source system; a new surrogate key is assigned; source key is no longer unique in the lookup table Fully logged A new dimension row is added with the new state of the source system, while the previous dimension row is updated to reflect it is no longer active and time of deactivation.
Power Query is built on what was then [when?] a new query language called M.It is a mashup language (hence the letter M) designed to create queries that mix together data. It is similar to the F Sharp programming language, and according to Microsoft it is a "mostly pure, higher-order, dynamically typed, partially lazy, functional language."
The first release of Power BI was based on the Microsoft Excel-based add-ins: Power Query, Power Pivot and Power View. With time, Microsoft also added many additional features like question and answers, enterprise-level data connectivity, and security options via Power BI Gateways. [10] Power BI was first released to the general public on 24 ...
The following example of a SELECT query returns a list of expensive books. The query retrieves all rows from the Book table in which the price column contains a value greater than 100.00. The result is sorted in ascending order by title. The asterisk (*) in the select list indicates that all columns of the Book table should be included in the ...
The danger comes from inadvertently adding a new column, named the same as another column in the other table. An existing natural join might then "naturally" use the new column for comparisons, making comparisons/matches using different criteria (from different columns) than before. Thus an existing query could produce different results, even ...
In a database, a table is a collection of related data organized in table format; consisting of columns and rows. In relational databases , and flat file databases , a table is a set of data elements (values) using a model of vertical columns (identifiable by name) and horizontal rows , the cell being the unit where a row and column intersect ...
A super column family is a NoSQL object that contains column families. It is a tuple (pair) that consists of a key–value pair, where the key is mapped to a value that are column families. [1] In analogy with relational databases, a super column family is something like a "view" on a number of tables. It can also be seen as a map of tables. [2]
