DETAILROWS DAX Function (Table manipulation)

Returns the table data corresponding to the DetailRows expression defined on the specified Measure. If a DetailRows expression is not defined then the entire table to which the Measure belongs is returned.

Syntax

DETAILROWS ( <Measure> )
Parameter Attributes Description
Measure

A Measure reference whose DetailRows expression is to be evaluated.

Return values

Table An entire table or a table with one or more columns.

Remarks

IMPORTANT : DETAILROWS should have performed a context transition, but this design has not been implemented. As a workaround, if called in a row context, it should be wrapped in a CALCULATETABLE statement. Do not use in a row context if the intended behavior should not execute the context transition – assign the result of DETAILROWS in a variable before the iterator in that case.

Examples

Consider the following Detail Rows Expression in the Sales Amount measure:

SELECTCOLUMNS (
    Sales,
    "Order Number", Sales[Order Number],
    "Order Line Number", Sales[Order Line Number],
    "Customer", RELATED ( Customer[Name] ),
    "Product", RELATED ( 'Product'[Product Name] ),
    "Quantity", Sales[Quantity],
    "Line Amount", Sales[Quantity] * Sales[Net Price]
)

DETAILSROWS invokes the Detail Rows Expression for the corresponding measure in the same filter context.
