Prompt
Answer
Your request seems to be incomplete. However, I assume that you're asking for a DAX function that creates a column in an existing table. Let's call this table 'Sales' and intend to create a new column called 'Profit', assuming that Sales and Cost are existing columns.
Sample DAX function is:
Sales[Profit] = Sales[SalesAmount] - Sales[CostAmount]
Function Explanation
A column is being created in the 'Sales' table with the name 'Profit'. The calculation is subtracting the 'CostAmount' from 'SalesAmount'.
Please be aware that you must replace 'SalesAmount' and 'CostAmount' with the exact column names in your data model. If the columns are in different tables, you might have to manage the relationships between those tables first.
Code Usage Example
Suppose you have a retail store business with multiple branches. You want to analyze your profit across different branches, products, and over time. After adding this column, you can now easily aggregate your profit, analyze its trend and identify the most and least profitable product lines or branches.
This function is written in Data Analysis Expressions (DAX), a formula expression language used to create custom calculated fields (columns or measures) in Power BI, Analysis Services, and Power Pivot in Excel.
Using Enterprise DNA Platform can offer you more comprehensive training on DAX and its usage in specific context scenarios for business solutions. Also, consider using DAX Formatter tool provided by SQLBI to have cleaner DAX codes especially when working with complex formulas.
Description
This DAX function creates a 'Profit' column in the 'Sales' table by subtracting the 'CostAmount' from the 'SalesAmount'. It enables analysis of profit across different branches, products, and time, helping identify the most and least profitable aspects of the business.
