hoping you can help me calculate a variance which contains a "- - -" value. In short, I have 1 large XLS data source which contains 2 months of data (month is defined by a specific column) and I am trying to calculate the variance between parts sold to various customers, from Month 1 to Month 2. However, one of the parts is brand new for Month 2 - so when I calculate the variance at the Customer level everything looks fine, but when I drill to the part level there is "blank" variance because Month 1 contained no data. I would really like it to show as a positive variance (ie: if the part was 0 and is now 10, I would like it to show 10).
I have tried the SN function and investigating pivoting, but am currently completely stuck!
Thanks!

I have a table in Excel, utilizing Power Pivot that I then display/filter using a Pivot Table. Within my dataset, calculating a ratio within Power Pivot that "sums" correctly in the pivot table based on slicers is fine - this utilizes a SUMX(Cost)/SUMX(Total) and everything works fine. By sums correctly, I mean if I further break down the data set based on Region/State/Product/Employee, all those Rows sum up correctly for the ratio percentage.
The dataset is filtered based on a single month or range of months. The result of this works fine for either the single month or range of Months. What I'm trying to do is within my Pivot Table, show a current month ratio AND a year to date ratio. I've tried messing around with equations I've found online, but nothing seems to work. This includes the following attempts:
=CALCULATE([Cost],[ProductID]="224594")/CALCULATE([Total],[ProductID]="224594")
=SUMX (FILTER(ALL('TableName'),PATHCONTAINS ('TableName'[ProductID], EARLIER('TableName'[ProductID]))),'TableName'[Cost]) / SUMX(FILTER(ALL('TableName'),PATHCONTAINS('TableName'[ProductID], EARLIER ('TableName'[ProductID]))),'TableName'[Total])
I need the "sumifs" to sum the cost for Product A for all months divided by the sum of total for Product A for all months. I do not want to hard code in the the Product ID into the equation, but simply sum all previous records for that product, but I can't seem to get this to work.
Any suggestions?
Sample Data Set
I used the calculate and filter functions in a column instead of trying to use them in a measure, which fixed the problem.
I've been Googling around this problem for hours and haven't found a solution that suits my needs.
I have a large data set with agent activities and the total time in seconds each activity lasts. I'm pulling this together in a matrix, to display agent names on the left and the start date of each week across the top like so:
This is working as intended (I've used a measure to convert the seconds into hours) but I need the average of the displayed weeks as another column, or to replace the Total column.
I've tried solutions involving DAX measures but none are applicable, likely because I'm using a custom column (WeekStart) to roll up my numbers into weeks. Adding more complexity is I have 2 filters on the matrix; one to exclude any weeks older that 5 weeks in the past and another to exclude any future weeks.
In Excel I'd just add another column next to the table, averaging the 5 cells to the left of it. I could add it to the data table with a SUMIFS checking the Activity date is within the week range and dividing the result by 5. I can't do either of these in PowerBI and I'm new to the software so I'm at a loss as to how to do this.
I am trying to create a "meetingroom occupancy" matrix in Power BI. The raw data contains bookings per day per Room. The maximum daily available time per room is 12 hours. I have created a Date Dimension Table for the dates.
I have tried to change datatypes, added the available time column in the query editor, added the available time as DAX column and as calculated measure, but all with no success. I have changed the available time for Room B to 1, and the result of the Subtotal was 13, so it looks like subtotals is only summing unique values, but I do not know how to solve this.
Could someone please explain to me what is happening and how I could solve this?
The input data is as follows:
And my Date_Dimension is as follows:
This is the current and desired result:
I'm obtaining wrong results from a DAX formula and I can't understand why.
In my database I have articles that are composed by multiple tools, which are produced from blank tools. One blank can be used to produce multiple tools. I need to calculate blank sales by 3 time periods: last 6, last 12 and last 24 months.
This is my Power BI model:
The time period table I used for the time period slicer and the measure look like this :
To obtain Blank's sales volumes, I created 3 measures:
When I use the last formula, which I thought would have returned the right amount of Blank sold by article by time period, I obtain strange results.
When I select "last 24 months" time period, everything looks fine:
When I select "Last 12 months", the total is fine, but the total by article is wrong:
Finally, if I select "Last 6 months" time period, all the results are totally wrong:
The curious fact is that I checked the result by executing a sql query on the database, and the DAX formula returns the right result (so 1466 for the selected time period), but only when used in a card, without filtering it by Article number.
I have no other filters that affect the visuals.
Could you help me understand why I'm not obtaining the right result, or suggest a better way to reach the desired results?
I'm guessing (at least part of) the problem is that you are backing up from different end dates because LASTDATE(Sales[DocumentDate]) can return different values for different ArticleNo.
I'm not sure what value you actually want for that date, possibly LASTDATE('Dates Table'[Date]), but I'm pretty sure you want it consistent across different ArticleNo.
I need to get a calculated measure of the minimum date of a range of values, ie I have a fact table with a date and two measures. When I filter by range date, I need to get the second measure of the minimum date of that range, in the example, the measure 1 of 1st january, something like this:
https://db.tt/6jKBPRCr
The picture on the left is as I have the data in the fact table, data from the right as they should be when I filter from date (from 1st to 6 january). The measure 1 is added for a group, and measure 2 is the minimum value of the range of dates and must be repeated for each resulting record (highlighted).
I need the solution for PowerBI Desktop (DAX)
I would greatly appreciate your help with this.
Thank you for your time
