DAX Other - UNION function
Description
Creates a union (join) table from the specified tables.
DAX UNION function is new in Excel 2016.
Syntax
UNION (<table_expression1>, <table_expression2>, [<table_expression3>] …)
Parameters
Sr.No. | Parameter & Description |
---|---|
1 |
table_expression Any DAX expression that returns a table. |
Return Value
A table that contains all the rows from each of the table expressions.
Remarks
The tables must have the same number of columns.
Columns are combined by the position in their respective tables.
The column names in the return table will match the column names in table_expression1.
Duplicate rows are retained.
The returned table has lineage where possible. For example, if the first column of each table_expression has lineage to the same base column C1 in the model, the first column in the UNION result will have lineage to C1. However, if combined columns have a lineage to different base columns, or if there is an extension column, the resulting column in UNION will have no lineage.
When data types differ, the resulting data type is determined based on the rules for data type coercion.
The returned table will not contain columns from related tables.
Example
= SUMX (UNION (SalesOldData, SalesNewData), [Sales Amount])
