Visual Calculations – Making [DAX] Easier (with Jeroen ter Heerdt)

This is it. The day that the way that DAX became easier. After this, how you write DAX changes forever. Learn all about it in this session! The Power BI team has been working on exciting things related to DAX calculations, specifically targeted at making it easier to add typical business-type calculations (such as running totals or vs-first). Would you believe it if we told you that you don’t even have to type DAX anymore and still be able to get complex calculations done quickly? In this session, we will talk about this exciting new feature!

Join this session to learn more about this new feature which will make writing DAX statements so much easier and faster. Get ready to get your mind blown! See the future, today.

Surprised msft didn't just acquire Inforiver to get this plus the UI/UX ready to ship

Hmm, super interesting! Thanks for the video. One thing that popped into my mind when you guys said that Visual Calcs are like shortcuts to Window Calcs. Could there be some "translate this visual calculation to window calculation" -button or "show as window calc" -translator. This way we could easily transform Visual Calculation to Window Calculation and use the Window Calculation measure in multiple visuals. Thanks for the video!

based on some of the "teasing" i'd heard for this i'd decided to temper my expectations, but i am super impressed by how this is going to work!

Visual Calculations - OMG I usually do this manually for my more complex data visualisations, if not for my own design/debugging but this will also help with user testing and data validation processes. When will you flip the switch on this one for us to see and use?

[In_a_state]

This will change reporting quite a bit, the speed benefits in some cases will be amazing.
It's fantastic to not have to iterate over data model tables/columns but an aggregation.

However, it would be useful to have visual calculations storable and reusable, just like normal measures.
Whenever you would reuse a visual calculation in a different visual the dependencies (measures/other visual calculations) would be added to the visual as well so the calculation can function.
