RETURN DAX Statement


The RETURN keyword consumes variables defined in previous VAR statements.

VAR <name> = <expression>
[VAR <name2> = <expression2> [...]]
RETURN <result_expression>
Copy Conventions

The result_expression has access to all the variables (name, name2, …) defined in the VAR statement(s) before RETURN.
