#DAX 'did ya know' of the day - using if with and in a measure: if you use && you get back a TRUE/FALSE value, if you use & you get back a text value, and if you wrap the whole thing in a VALUE you get back a number!

&& is better and a replacement for AND(condition1,condition2) as you can do many &&.
IF(A && B && C && D && E, this, that)
AND() can only handle 2 things.
Use || instead of OR() for the same reason. Plus, with paren, you can mix and match && and ||.
And you can also have fun with blanks in DAX:
Blank + 5 = 5
Blank * 5 = Blank
5/Blank = ∞
Blank/Blank = Blank
0/Blank = NaN

I’m going to try this. I’ve just started learning DAX so I’m not even at this level yet.
