Recipe Objective - What are Statistical functions in Power BI DAX? How does APPROXIMATEDISTINCTCOUNT work?

Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) provides many functions for creating aggregations such as sums, counts, and averages. These functions are very similar to aggregation functions used by Microsoft Excel.

APPROXIMATEDISTINCTCOUNT - Returns the approximate number of rows that contain distinct values in a column.

Syntax of APPROXIMATEDISTINCTCOUNT -

APPROXIMATEDISTINCTCOUNT(columnName)

Parameters -

column - The column that contains the values to be counted. This cannot be an expression.

It returns the approximate number of distinct values in the column.

In this way, the APPROXIMATEDISTINCTCOUNT function works in Power BI DAX.
