Showing the value of a variable in DAXStudio

Hi,

 

This might be a little bit off-topic, but I hope someone can help anyway.

 

I'm using DAXStudio to write some DAX queries and I'd like to be able to show the value of a scalar variable for debugging purposes, but I simply can't figure out how to do it. I can show the content of a table variable, so how do I do it with a scalar variable.

I e.g. have a Month-Year variable where I'd like to verify that it contains the right value, so does anyone know how I can show that in DAXStudio?

 

Regards

Steen

Hi @steen_p ,

 

As we know, dax studio can only get the row of a table. So we cannot get the Aggregated value directly. We can use ROW to work around like that.

row ("a",today())

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Thanks for your input.

I actually ended up doing something similar - I just used SUMMARIZECOLUMNS , but it's a little bit easier to use ROW.

 

Thanks

Hi @steen_p 

 

You might refer to this document:

If you'd like to write some DAX formulas, kindly provide the data with desirables, we'd like to draw it up for you.
