Description

Are you tired of creating perhaps 10 different base measures and then are faced with having to create versions for year to date, quarter to date, month to date, year over year, min, max and average etc. You have probably thought to yourself, there has got to be a better way. Well, there is with Calculation Groups.

Calculation Groups and Calculation Items are a relatively new feature in Power BI that allow you to prevent a proliferation of measures in your data model. The power of these is impressive and they can save you a tremendous amount of time.

We thoroughly cover how to create and use Calculation Groups and Items and also introduce you to Tabular Editor, which is the tool you will probably use when working with Calculation Groups.

Understanding Calculation Groups will make you a more proficient DAX developer!
