How to Use the Power BI DAX function AND

What is the DAX Function AND?

The DAX function AND is a logical function that returns TRUE if all arguments are TRUE, and FALSE otherwise. It takes two or more logical expressions as arguments and evaluates them. If all the expressions evaluate to TRUE, then the function returns TRUE. If any of the expressions evaluate to FALSE, then the function returns FALSE.

How Does the DAX Function AND Work?

The DAX function AND works by evaluating each of the logical expressions provided as arguments. If all the expressions evaluate to TRUE, then the function returns TRUE. If any of the expressions evaluate to FALSE, then the function returns FALSE.

Here is an example of the DAX function AND in action:


=AND(TRUE, TRUE, TRUE)


In this example, all three arguments evaluate to TRUE, so the function returns TRUE.

How to Use the DAX Function AND in Power BI

To use the DAX function AND in Power BI, you’ll need to create a new measure or column. Here’s how to do it:

1. Open Power BI Desktop and open the report or data model you want to work with.

2. Click on the “Modeling” tab at the top of the screen.

3. Click on “New Measure” or “New Column”, depending on whether you want to create a measure or column.

4. In the formula bar, type “=AND(” followed by the logical expressions you want to evaluate, separated by commas.

5. Close the parentheses and press Enter to create the measure or column.

Here’s an example of how to use the DAX function AND to create a new measure:


Total Sales Greater Than 100K = AND(SUM(Sales[Total Sales])❱100000, SUM(Sales[Total Sales])❰500000)


In this example, we’re creating a new measure called “Total Sales Greater Than 100K”. The measure will return TRUE if the sum of the “Total Sales” column is greater than 100,000 and less than 500,000.

Tips for Using the DAX Function AND

Here are some tips to keep in mind when using the DAX function AND in Power BI:

– You can use as many logical expressions as you need in the function.

– Make sure your logical expressions are properly formatted and evaluate to either TRUE or FALSE.

– You can nest the DAX function AND inside other DAX functions to create even more complex formulas.

The DAX function AND is a powerful tool for creating complex formulas in Power BI. By understanding how it works and how to use it, you can create more advanced measures and columns to help you analyze your data more effectively. Use the tips we’ve provided to get started, and experiment with different combinations of logical expressions to find the best formula for your needs.
