Today I will be presenting in a webinar, which by the way is recorded for later viewing, on Commonly used DAX Expressions.  You can register (or if you miss it live watch the recording) for this webinar here.  I thought it would be great if I could push out the code that I plan to show ahead of time so you could review it immediately following or even during the webinar.  Also, if I run out of time you can see what I planned to cover!

Some of these have a short description while others are self explanatory based on the name of the calculations.  Please keep in mind if you have problems building any of these that they do build off each other so make sure you do all of them in order!  I?m also using the AdventureWorksDW2008R2 database as my data source.

Calculated Column on DimsalesTerritory

=SUMX(RELATEDTABLE(FactInternetSales),FactInternetSales[SalesAmount])

USERELATIONSHIP(DimDate[DateKey], FactInternetSales[DueDateKey]))

Calculated Measures - Time Intelligence

DATEADD(DimDate[FullDateAlternateKey],-12,MONTH))

=CALCULATE(FactInternetSales[Profit], 
DATESBETWEEN(DimDate[FullDateAlternateKey],
DATEADD(FIRSTDATE(DimDate[FullDateAlternateKey]),-11, MONTH),
LASTDATE(DimDate[FullDateAlternateKey])))
