ROW DAX Function (Table manipulation)
Returns a single row table with new columns specified by the DAX expressions.
Syntax
ROW ( <Name>, <Expression> [, <Name>, <Expression> [, … ] ] )
| Parameter | Attributes | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Repeatable |
Name of the new column. |
| Expression | Repeatable |
The expression for the column. |
Return values
Table An entire table or a table with one or more columns.
A single row table.
Remarks
ROW does not preserve the data lineage of the returned columns returned, even though a column expression is a simple column reference.
Examples
-- ROW generates a table with one row only.
-- You provide the name of the columns and their values.
EVALUATE
ROW (
"Sales in 2009", CALCULATE ( [Sales Amount], 'Date'[Calendar Year] = "CY 2009" ),
"Sales in 2008", CALCULATE ( [Sales Amount], 'Date'[Calendar Year] = "CY 2008" )
)
| Sales in 2009 | Sales in 2008 |
|---|---|
| 9,353,814.87 | 9,927,582.99 |
-- Expressions evaluated in ROW respect the filter context.
EVALUATE
CALCULATETABLE (
ROW (
"Sales in 2009", CALCULATE ( [Sales Amount], 'Date'[Calendar Year] = "CY 2009" ),
"Sales in 2008", CALCULATE ( [Sales Amount], 'Date'[Calendar Year] = "CY 2008" )
),
'Product'[Brand] = "Contoso"
)
| Sales in 2009 | Sales in 2008 |
|---|---|
| 2,253,412.80 | 2,369,167.68 |
-- ROW controls the name of the columns, whereas the table constructor
-- automatically assigns column names. You must use SELECTCOLUMNS to control
-- the column names of a table constructor as you do in ROW.
