DAX Meets Cricket: Build a Dynamic Points Table in Power BI 🏏
🙋♂️Hi there. I am Atikant Jain (AJ). Welcome to my newsletter, where I talk about career in Analytics & Data Science. Currently spreading love about Analytics, Data Visualization, and Microsoft Power BI.
Welcome to this week’s edition of Analytical Guy Insights, where I combine the power of data and storytelling to bring analytics to life.
This week, we dive into an exciting blend of Power BI and Test Cricket Analytics, using advanced DAX functions to solve real-world problems.
The Challenge: Creating a Points Table for Test Cricket
Points tables are critical for any championship, and cricket is no exception. But in Power BI, creating such tables can be tricky when you have complex relationships in your data model.
That’s where the USERELATIONSHIP function comes in. This underutilized DAX function lets you activate inactive relationships dynamically to perform calculations that would otherwise be impossible.
In my latest YouTube video, I take you step-by-step through:
Understanding inactive relationships in Power BI.
Using USERELATIONSHIP to calculate points for Test Cricket teams.
Creating a dynamic Points Table that updates automatically.
Why Cricket Analytics?
Cricket is more than a game—it’s a data goldmine! By using cricket analytics as our case study, we make learning Power BI not only practical but also fun and engaging. 🏏
Whether you’re a data professional or a cricket fan, this tutorial is a great way to:
✅ Learn a valuable DAX function.
✅ Enhance your analytical skills.
✅ See analytics in action with a real-world example.
