NOT DAX Function (Logical)
Changes FALSE to TRUE, or TRUE to FALSE.
Syntax
NOT ( <Logical> )
| Parameter | Attributes | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Logical |
A value or expression that can be evaluated to TRUE or FALSE. |
Return values
Scalar A single boolean value.
TRUE or FALSE
Remarks
NOT is not a real function; it is an operator that can be used as a function because of the equivalent syntax.
Examples
-- TRUE and FALSE are the two constant values of True and False (1, 0 )
-- AND performs the logical AND between two conditions
-- OR performs the logical OR between two conditions
-- NOT performs logical negation

| Value1 | Value2 |
|---|---|
| FALSE | false |
| FALSE() | false |
| TRUE | true |
| TRUE() | true |
| AND ( TRUE, FALSE ) | false |
| OR ( TRUE, FALSE ) | true |
| NOT ( TRUE ) | false |
| NOT ( FALSE ) | true |
The following example has the purpose of clarifying that NOT is an operator and not a function.
DEFINE

ADDCOLUMNS (
CROSSJOIN (
{ FALSE, TRUE },
SELECTCOLUMNS ( { 0, 1, 2 }, "Expression #", [Value] ),

"List Item 2", [Value2]
)
),

SWITCH (
[Expression #],
0, "NOT ( " & [Value] & " ) IN …",
1, "NOT ( " & [Value] & " IN … )",
2, "( NOT " & [Value] & " ) IN …"
),
"Result",
SWITCH (
[Expression #],
0, NOT ( [Value] ) IN { [List Item 1], [List Item 2] },
1, NOT ( [Value] IN { [List Item 1], [List Item 2] } ),
