Bill Pearson begins a series on financial functions inside DAX:
As a part of this introduction, you’ll have an opportunity to examine how each function can be employed to support business requirements of the sort that your hypothetical colleagues encounter routinely, and, for the most part, accomplish with Microsoft Excel, in meeting regular business requirements. You’ll learn the purpose of each function, and then undertake a practice example with each that demonstrates how it interacts with a small loan data set, via a calculation that you construct. Moreover, you will:
– Examine the syntax involved in exploiting the function.
– Undertake an illustrative example of the use of the function in a practice exercise.
– Review a brief discussion of the results you obtain in the steps of the practice example.
This is a thorough opening article.
