Philip Seamark answers one of the classic gaps and islands problems with DAX:
A recent post on the Power BI community website asked if it was possible to compress a group of numbers into text that described the sequential ranges contained within the numbers. This might be a group of values such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13: (note there are gaps) with the expected result grouping the numbers that run in a sequence together to produce text like “1-4, 7-9, 12-13”. Essentially to identify gaps when creating the text. This seemed like an interesting challenge and here is how I solved it using DAX.
Read on for the solution, which is conceptually very similar to the T-SQL solution but a bit different in implementation.
