SELECTCOLUMNS Function (DAX)

 

Adds calculated columns to the given table or table expression.

SELECTCOLUMNS(<table>, <name>, <scalar_expression> [, <name>, <scalar_expression>]…) 

Parameters

table
Any DAX expression that returns a table.

name
The name given to the column, enclosed in double quotes.

expression
Any expression that returns a scalar value like a column reference, integer, or string value.

A table with the same number of rows as the table specified as the first argument. The returned table has one column for each pair of <name>, <scalar_expression> arguments, and each expression is evaluated in the context of a row from the specified <table> argument.

SELECTCOLUMNS has the same signature as ADDCOLUMNS, and has the same behavior except that instead of starting with the <table> specified, SELECTCOLUMNS starts with an empty table before adding columns.
