    Quick “Is there a way” Question:

    Is there a way to see the results of a Summarize function statement?

    For example:

    SUMMARIZE(vDimPractice,vDimPractice[MbrNameID],”12-month Sales”,vFactTransaction[DLR_PRDCTN_NET_SumOf_MoRolling12])

    The SUMMARIZE() function is part of a larger expression to calculate percentiles, based upon Colin Banfield’s posts back in 2011.

    I have SSMS.

    Thank you!

    Ron,

    There are at least two ways that I know of to see the results of a SUMMARIZE function statement:

    1) Use DAX Studio

    https://daxstudio.codeplex.com/

    2) Create a link-back table

    Hi Tom

    Summarize can be used in a measure without using a link back table?

     

    If i use a linkback table can i pre filter my table results if the table stretches across 1mil plus lines?

    Normally it forces you to choose a table when creating a linkback table but the table i want has more than 1 mil lines, this then does not load into a table format

    You can use SUMMARIZE in a measure without using a link back table. To keep your data from exceeding one million lines, the pre-filter would need to be in the DAX query for the link back.

    Power Query in many cases is the preferred solution over link back tables because of the 1 million row limitation.
