10. Table functions
The table functions in DAX formulas for Power BI are used to apply
operations and conditions on entire tables. The output of table functions is
used as inputs in other expressions or arguments in a DAX formula. The
results of these functions retain the relationships between columns of that
table.
 FILTER
 ALL
 VALUES
 DISTINCT
 RELATEDTABLE

DAX Context
The concept of DAX context is essential in gaining a complete understanding
of DAX language and how it works in Power BI. There are two types of DAX
contexts; Row context and Filter context.

 Row context: Row context means taking into account a specific row

that has been filtered in a DAX expression. The row context focuses
on the operation of the formula on the current row. This type of
context is most often applied to the measure rows.
 Filter context: The filter context takes focusing on values one step
ahead. In row context, we were filtering out and applying operations
 on specific rows. But in filter context, the expression applies a filter
to focus on specific values within a row. Thus, the filter context is
applied in addition to the row context to narrow down the scope of
calculation to specific values. Filter context is applied when we use
functions like CALCULATE, FILTER, RELATED, ALL, etc.
