    Thank you, I always thought in (weak) limited relationships both RELATED() and RELATEDTABLE() does not work. This video helps but also makes me think which other DAX functions works (and do not work) in limited relationships.

    A question out of this topic, is there any way to retrieve the historical refreshes that occurred on the SSAS Tabular model (something like refresh history in PBI Premium datasets)? Thanks in advance for your guidance.

    Great video, finally understanding the use of RELATEDTABLE() function. However, I've got a question on this one.
    What is difference between using CONTROWS ( RELATEDTABLE (SALES) ) and applying Context Transition CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS (SALES) ). I suppose both would generate the same result/values. Is there any performance impact?

    • @SQLBI
      @SQLBI  Před rokem +2

      They are identical, same result, same performance.

    Thanks for this great video Alberto. Can you talk more on the Island you talked about when explaining limited and strong relationship. Thanks

    I love the data formatting in Power BI.
    It's the easiest and the most dangerous thing.
    if you know what are you doing it took only 1 min
    but only one mistake can collapse all your data.

    But for limited relationships we need a refresh of the dataset to get the data from Direct query

    Are there any scenarios when we need not use RELATED and RELATEDTABLE functions to access column from another table?

  • @yuriperesf
    @yuriperesf Před 3 měsíci

    Great video as always!
    I have a question:
    Considering the following DAX queries
    A: EVALUATE ADDCOLUMNS ( SUMMARIZE ( 'Product', 'Product'[ProductSubcategoryKey] ), "Subcategory", RELATED ( ProductSubcategory[ProductSubcategory] ) )
    B: EVALUATE ADDCOLUMNS ( 'Product', "Subcategory", RELATED ( ProductSubcategory[ProductSubcategory] ) )
    Why does query A doesn't work while query B works?
    What does the SUMMARIZE (or SELECTCOLUMNS for that matter) do that it causes the RELATED function to stop working?

    • @SQLBI
      @SQLBI  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Query A performs a GROUPBY and the result is not a row in Product, but a value in Product[ProductSubcategoryKey]. Because RELATED is a function that "unlocks" the access to the expanded table (which is an internal implementation detail), when the row context is not on Product, you do not have access to the expanded table. The result of SUMMARIZE / SUMMARIZECOLUMNS is never a table that has relationships in the model, it's always a table that still keeps the data lineage of the columns, but cannot leverage model relationships.

    LOOKUPVALUE also doesn't work with a limited relationship, in my experience.

    • @SQLBI
      @SQLBI  Před rokem

      Yes, RELATED only works with regular relationships.

    2:02 - RELATED
    -- creates a calculated column in Sales (Many) and accesses a column in Product (One)
    7:41- RELATEDTABLE

    The catch cry “enjoy DAX” is only possible because of SQLBI
    DAX = RELATED (SQLBI)

    Maybe RELATED should be renamed RELATEDVALUE so it is clearer.?

  • @e.l.2405
    @e.l.2405 Před 9 měsíci

    wrong E-R schema, because ProductDQ should be connected to Product table, not to Sales table.
