Marco Russo and Alberto Ferrari walk us through three important set functions in DAX:
In this article we refer to “set functions” as functions that operate on sets. The three set functions available in DAX are: UNION, INTERSECT, and EXCEPT. Their behavior is very intuitive:
– UNION performs the union of two or more tables.
– INTERSECT performs the set intersection between two tables.
– EXCEPT removes the rows of the second argument from the first one.These functions take two or more tables as parameters and return a table. They prove useful not only to write DAX queries; a developer can also use these functions to prepare complex filters when implementing measures.
Read on to see how these work in DAX.
