![]() = SELECTCOLUMNS ( CALENDAR ( 0, 100 ), "Value", INT ( ) ) Here are the same previous examples written using CALENDAR instead of GENERATESERIES. The only issue is that you cannot specify a step parameter, so the number generated should be modified using the SELECTCOLUMNS function. Because a date is a floating-point number, you can easily manipulate this function as needed to get the desired numerical result. The CALENDAR function generates all the dates between two dates. However, you can easily work around the absence of GENERATESERIES by using the CALENDAR function, which is available in Power Pivot for Excel 2016 and Analysis Services 2016. If you create a live connection between Power BI and Analysis Services 2016, or if you use Power Pivot for Excel, you cannot use the GENERATESERIES function. The GENERATESERIES function is available in Power BI, Azure Analysis Services, and Analysis Services 2017. ![]() In case you need more accuracy you can just convert the number in a fixed decimal number, using the CURRENCY function as in the following example: ![]() Usually this is not an issue if you just display the number formatted using a percentage with two decimal points. For example, instead of generating 0.81, you would see the number 0.810000000000001 in the result as shown below: This can result in numbers that are not accurate for your needs. The last function generates numbers using a floating-point value. Generating all the numbers between 0% and 100%: Generating all the even numbers between -10 and 10: Generating all the integer numbers between 0 and 100: Here are a few examples of GENERATESERIES. The data type of the result is an integer if the values are all integers, or a decimal number if one or more values require that level of precision. The third optional argument defines the increment applied when generating the numbers: it is 1 by default, but you can apply any other positive value including decimal numbers. The first two arguments define the first and last value of the table. The result is a table with a single column called Value. GENERATESERIES is one of the few functions in DAX that generates new data – most of the DAX functions only filter existing data. The DAX expression uses a new function called GENERATESERIES. Internally, this feature simply creates a calculated table using a DAX expression generating one row for each value that should be available in the slicer. The August 2017 update of Power BI introduced a new feature called the What if parameter, which allows the use of a slicer to push a parameter in a DAX measure.
