    Thanks, never got around to using TREATAS before, my first thoughts were to USERELATIONSHIP, so nice surprise, I think I'll have to go over it a few times, as with a lot of DAX and M.

    Thanks Master Mike! In fact, THEATAS is like those temporary table used in SQL for temporary analysis purpose. very good stuff.

      Exactly: temporarily just sitting inside CALCLAUTE, any time you use that Measure!!! You are welcome for the MECS!!!

    Hey Mike!
    Question: You could have made a relationship in Power BI within Budget and two other dimension tables and the outcome would have been the same... right? Instead of using TREATAS it would have just been SUM... right?

    also, Mike, Can I ask a question about Video editing?
    Cos thats why i got stuck with my yt channel...

    • @excelisfun
      @excelisfun  Рік тому

      You can ask about editing. But I can anticipate and answer here: making videos is about 30% panning up from and 70% editing. For me, the vast majority of work is in the editing. All the zoom and callouts and animation and voice editing and film editing is just a small part. For me, most of the story is developed in editing. I do not film and edit in linear order. I go back and forth through video many times to insert and delete and amend later and earlier parts to make the story consistent. Also, I use Camtasia, which is the worst &^%@#&$@$& program, ever created. A lot of the time spent in editing is spent cursing the CEO and programmers of that company for making the most difficult to use program ever. Camtasia can't handle videos over 10 minutes without great struggle. The process that I make is the same as making art: all elements must help deliver a consistent unified message, if an element does not, rip it out and make it right. Sometimes this means spending days editing, only to discover that it is all or mostly wrong, then I must throw out the junk and make it again... So editing is the most important step, most of the story comes from editing, and the finished product often hides the hard work behind the scenes. If you have other questions, just ask.

      ​@@excelisfun well, I fully understand your frustration and anger.
      Firstly Iwent for camtasia - and its the worst, then I tried davinci resolved (its free for non-companies like youtubers who are normal ppl, its paid for a companies)
      and still edditing is painfull, to me its so painfull that it has stopped me from recording more then 5 videos.
      Ive read and tried some other and... it was so bad Idont even remember it name.
      So I was wondering if maybe you have some1 who actualy likes / loves video editing for video edditing?
      and to be honest, i dont even know where to find some1 who would be willing to video edit :(

      @@ExcelInstructor I have tried other recorders and editors also. Abode Premier is horrible too. Free Cam is too simple. I just do not understand how the Camtasia programmers can be so &^#^%$#$ing stupid to program the app the way they do. I can track how they have changed the coding in Camtasia for a decade and a half, and they always try to cover up coding errors with even worse coding errors. Like on what %^^%#^% planet do you program incremental highlighting with , and . (comma and period) rather than arrow keys!?!?

    For the Power BI samples, the Excel file name isn't correct, but changing the Source to either of the 19-M365ExcelClass*.xlsx files seems to work fine.

    Hi Mike, another amazing video, thanks dude. I'm testing the alternative BudgetedSales($)NoTREATAS (INTERSECT) measure, and if I´m not wrong, it seems to compute an approximate value not 100% equals to the BudgetedSales($)TREATAS measure. Is this something expected to occur?

    • @excelisfun
      @excelisfun  Рік тому +1

      INTERSECT does not work like TREATAS. The arguments are reversed and it works off an AND Logical Test. Did you look at the picture of the INTERSECT version in the pdf notes or the Power BI Desktop Finished file?

    • @excelisfun
      @excelisfun  Рік тому +1

      Also, TREATAS is mush faster calculating, so we should always use TRETAS. I just showed the old way that we used to have to do it in Power Pivot.

    • @excelisfun
      @excelisfun  Рік тому +1

      When I look at the two versions in the Power BI Desktop file I don't seem to see the approximation that you are seeing. I see the same numbers in every cell in the visual.
