Right('Sales'[Code], 4)

Context Explanation:

Translated WebI formula directly into equivalent Power BI DAX calculation context.

Enterprise Migration Note: Context Transition in Power BI

When migrating Right from SAP BusinessObjects universes to Power BI, keep in mind that WebI evaluates context operators at the report display layer (block, break, section), whereas Power BI evaluates DAX against a tabular tabular model using row context and filter context.

1. Use KEEPFILTERS

Wrap filter arguments inside KEEPFILTERS to avoid inadvertently overriding existing dashboard slicers.

2. Explicit Measures

Always define calculations as explicit DAX measures rather than calculated columns to maintain optimal VertiPaq compression.

3. Table Name Prefix

Reference columns using 'TableName'[Column] and measures as [MeasureName] following Microsoft architecture guidelines.
