Next Level DAX With Text Measures

DAX is all about the numbers. Or is it?

While most DAX authors are familiar with using Measures to return numbers, a feature hidden in plain site is their ability to return text strings, which end users love when done correctly. Pairing this ability with the powerful CONCATONATEX function you can introduce huge amounts of value to your reports; allowing you to more confidently diagnose problems, "show your work" to end users, and create high value visualizations that let users see the exact data they need quickly.

In this presentation Brian Grant will show how to convert tables of data into text in a friendly way and show you some tricks in Unicode to make your text Measures shine. If you want to learn how to get a lot of value out of DAX in a way you probably hadn't even considered, this is not to be missed.
