TREATAS
Applies to: Calculated column Calculated table Measure Visual calculation
Applies the result of a table expression as filters to columns from an unrelated table.
Syntax
TREATAS(table_expression, <column>[, <column>[, <column>[,…]]]} )
Parameters
Term | Definition |
---|---|
table_expression | An expression that results in a table. |
column | One or more existing columns. It cannot be an expression. |
Return value
A table that contains all the rows in column(s) that are also in table_expression.
Remarks
The number of columns specified must match the number of columns in the table expression and be in the same order.
If a value returned in the table expression does not exist in the column, it is ignored. For example, TREATAS({"Red", "Green", "Yellow"}, DimProduct[Color]) sets a filter on column DimProduct[Color] with three values "Red", "Green", and "Yellow". If "Yellow" does not exist in DimProduct[Color], the effective filter values would are "Red" and "Green".
Best for use when a relationship does not exist between the tables. If you have multiple relationships between the tables involved, consider using USERELATIONSHIP instead.
This function is not supported for use in DirectQuery mode when used in calculated columns or row-level security (RLS) rules.
Example
In the following example, the model contains two unrelated product tables. If a user applies a filter to DimProduct1[ProductCategory] selecting Bikes, Seats, Tires, the same filter, Bikes, Seats, Tires is applied to DimProduct2[ProductCategory].

SUM(Sales[Amount]),
