Terms in this definition
- VALUES
Returns in DAX the distinct column values, or table rows, still visible after filters are applied, sometimes with an extra blank entry. CALCULATE often takes the result as a table filter.
- Workspace
Teams in Power BI and Microsoft Fabric collaborate in this folder-style container, which groups items such as reports, semantic models and lakehouses, controls who can access them and is assigned a capacity.
- Model deployment
Inside a resource, each deployment is a named copy of a Foundry model with its own TPM quota and deployment type. Requests identify the model by this deployment name.
Related terms
- Library variable
Lets a pipeline use a value stored in a variable library. You add it on the Library variables tab, refer to it with @pipeline().libraryVariables.name, and the workspace's currently active value set decides what it resolves to.
- Value set
One named collection of alternative values, such as Prod or Test, for the variables in a variable library. Each workspace has a single active value set that consuming items read from, and deployments leave that active selection unchanged.
