Math and Trig Functions
The mathematical functions in DAX are very similar to the Excel mathematical and trigonometric functions.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| ABS | Returns the absolute value of a number. |
| ACOS | Returns the arccosine, or inverse cosine, of a number. The arccosine is the angle whose cosine is number. The returned angle is given in radians in the range 0 (zero) to pi. |
| ACOSH | Returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine of a number. The number must be greater than or equal to 1. The inverse hyperbolic cosine is the value whose hyperbolic cosine is number, so ACOSH(COSH(number)) equals number. |
| ACOT | Returns the principal value of the arccotangent, or inverse cotangent, of a number. |
| ACOTH | Returns the inverse hyperbolic cotangent of a number. |
| ASIN | Returns the arcsine, or inverse sine, of a number. The arcsine is the angle whose sine is number. The returned angle is given in radians in the range -pi/2 to pi/2. |
| ASINH | Returns the inverse hyperbolic sine of a number. The inverse hyperbolic sine is the value whose hyperbolic sine is number, so ASINH(SINH(number)) equals number. |
| ATAN | Returns the arctangent, or inverse tangent, of a number. The arctangent is the angle whose tangent is number. The returned angle is given in radians in the range -pi/2 to pi/2. |
| ATANH | Returns the inverse hyperbolic tangent of a number. Number must be between -1 and 1 (excluding -1 and 1). The inverse hyperbolic tangent is the value whose hyperbolic tangent is number, so ATANH(TANH(number)) equals number. |
| CEILING | Rounds a number up, to the nearest integer or to the nearest unit of significance. |
| CONVERT | Convert an expression to the specified data type. |
| COS | Returns the cosine of the given angle. |
| COSH | Returns the hyperbolic cosine of a number. |
| COT | Return the cotangent of an angle specified in radians. |
| COTH | Return the hyperbolic cotangent of a hyperbolic angle. |
| CURRENCY | Returns the value as a currency data type. |
| DEGREES | Converts radians into degrees. |
| DIVIDE | Safe Divide function with ability to handle divide by zero case. |
| EVEN | Returns number rounded up to the nearest even integer. You can use this function for processing items that come in twos. For example, a packing crate accepts rows of one or two items. The crate is full when the number of items, rounded up to the nearest two, matches the crate's capacity. |
| EXP | Returns e raised to the power of a given number. |
| FACT | Returns the factorial of a number, equal to 1*2*3*...* Number. |
| FLOOR | Rounds a number down, toward zero, to the nearest multiple of significance. |
| GCD | Returns the greatest common divisor of two integers. The greatest common divisor is the largest integer that divides both number1 and number2 without a remainder. |
| INT | Rounds a number down to the nearest integer. |
| ISO.CEILING | Rounds a number up, to the nearest integer or to the nearest multiple of significance. |
| LCM | Returns the least common multiple of integers. The least common multiple is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of both integer arguments number1, number2. Use LCM to add fractions with different denominators. |
| LN | Returns the natural logarithm of a number. |
| LOG | Returns the logarithm of a number to the base you specify. |
| LOG10 | Returns the base-10 logarithm of a number. |
| MOD | Returns the remainder after a number is divided by a divisor. |
| MROUND | Returns a number rounded to the desired multiple. |
| ODD | Returns number rounded up to the nearest odd integer. |
| PI | Returns the value of π, 3.14159265358979, accurate to 15 digits. |
| POWER | Returns the result of a number raised to a power. |
| QUOTIENT | Returns the integer portion of a division. |
| RADIANS | Converts degrees to radians. |
| RAND | Returns a random number greater than or equal to 0 and less than 1, evenly distributed. Random numbers change on recalculation. |
| RANDBETWEEN | Returns a random number between the numbers you specify. |
| ROUND | Rounds a number to a specified number of digits. |
| ROUNDDOWN | Rounds a number down, toward zero. |
| ROUNDUP | Rounds a number up, away from zero. |
| SIGN | Returns the sign of a number: 1 if the number is positive, zero if the number is zero, or -1 if the number is negative. |
| SIN | Returns the sine of the given angle. |
| SINH | Returns the hyperbolic sine of a number. |
| SQRT | Returns the square root of a number. |
| SQRTPI | Returns the square root of (number * pi). |
| TAN | Returns the tangent of the given angle. |
| TANH | Returns the hyperbolic tangent of a number. |
| TRUNC | Truncates a number to an integer by removing the decimal, or fractional, part of the number. |
