𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗖𝗨𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗘 + 𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗜 ⚡ Ever tried using a measure like [Total Sales] > 500 inside CALCULATE()… and got that frustrating error? 😵💫 Here’s the truth — CALCULATE can’t directly use measures for filtering. It needs row context to understand which rows qualify, and that’s exactly what FILTER() provides! 💪 This simple trick transforms your DAX logic — enabling row-by-row measure evaluation and delivering accurate results every time. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 👇 ✅ CALCULATE modifies filter context, not row context ✅ Use FILTER() when your logic involves a measure ✅ Simplify slicers with SELECTEDVALUE() instead of complex IF conditions ✅ Mastering context transition unlocks true DAX power! Big thanks 🙏 to Shashank Singh 🇮🇳 from Learnwidgiggs for inspiring these practical Power BI deep-dives! #PowerBI #DAX #DataAnalytics #Codebasics #PowerBITips #DataModeling #MeasureLogic #ContextTransition #FILTERFunction #CALCULATE

Day 13: Combining Multiple Queries for Automation 🔄 Combine. Automate. Simplify. One of the biggest strengths of Power Query is how easily you can combine multiple data sources into one clean dataset. Whether you’re merging sheets, appending monthly files, or pulling data from different systems — Power Query handles it all. Here’s how you can use it for automation 👇 🔹 Append Queries → Stack files (like Jan–Dec reports) 🔹 Merge Queries → Match data from multiple tables 🔹 Folder Connector → Auto-load all files in a folder — no manual updates needed! Once you set the logic, every refresh brings in the latest data automatically 💪 That’s how you turn your reporting workflow into a fully automated pipeline. 💬 Do you use append or merge more often in your projects? #PowerQuery #PowerBI #Automation #DataTransformation #ETL #DataAnalytics #DataIntegration #BusinessIntelligence
