Hello,
I learned the hard way that writing dax in a readable way is a must!
I recently stumbled about a difference in dax for longlines depeding on function. I'm looking for consistency so I hope someone has the answer here. As a guiding convention on the daxformatters-website as @marcorusso explained: If the function-call has more than two arguments than put it in a new line.
For this function long line and short line seems to be the same. Its always like that:
Test =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Sales[Sales Amount] ),
REMOVEFILTERS ( 'Sales Order'[Channel] )
)
Now just for fun we replace the Calculate function with a DIVIDE-function in Long Line:
Test =
DIVIDE ( SUM ( Sales[Sales Amount] ), REMOVEFILTERS ( 'Sales Order'[Channel] ) )
And in short line as expected:
Test =
DIVIDE (
SUM ( Sales[Sales Amount] ),
REMOVEFILTERS ( 'Sales Order'[Channel] )
)
So does anybody knows why Calculate function looks always like the first example and with divide (also tried same with sumx) has the expected long and short versions?
Thank you in advance.
Best.

@Applicable88 , to me second and third are the same and not correct calculations. Not very clear what is the issue
