SIN

How to Use the Power BI DAX function SIN

Understanding the SIN function

The SIN function is a trigonometric function that returns the sine of a given angle. The angle is specified in radians. The syntax of the SIN function is as follows:

SIN(number)

Here, the number argument represents the angle in radians for which you want to find the sine value. The function returns a decimal value between -1 and 1, which represents the sine of the angle.

Using the SIN function in Power BI

To use the SIN function in Power BI, you need to follow these steps:

1. Open Power BI and create a new report or open an existing one.

2. Select the table or dataset for which you want to calculate the sine value.

3. Click on the "New Measure" button in the "Modeling" tab of the ribbon.

4. In the "Formula Bar", enter the following formula:

SineValue = SIN(angle)

Here, "angle" represents the column or field that contains the angles for which you want to find the sine value.

5. Press Enter to create the measure.

Once you have created the measure, you can use it in your visualizations to display the sine values of the angles in your dataset.

Example

Let's take an example to understand how to use the SIN function in Power BI. Suppose you have a dataset that contains the angles of a triangle in radians. You want to calculate the sine values of these angles and display them in a table.

1. Open Power BI and create a new report.

2. Import the dataset into Power BI and add it to the report.

3. Create a new measure by clicking on the "New Measure" button in the "Modeling" tab of the ribbon.

4. In the "Formula Bar", enter the following formula:

SineValue = SIN(Angle)

Here, "Angle" represents the column in the dataset that contains the angles in radians.

5. Press Enter to create the measure.

6. Create a table visualization and add the "Angle" and "SineValue" measures to it.

7. Format the table as desired.

Now, you can see the sine values of the angles in the table.

The SIN function in Power BI is a useful tool for performing calculations based on angles. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily use the SIN function in your Power BI reports and visualizations.
