Beginner - simple dax (weight and groups)

Hi

I have created a table with 3 values.
Order id
BilledWeightCost

BilledWeightSales

Weight is a decimal number.

What I want to do it adding a weightbreak:
WB                MinWeight   MaxWeight

101
212
323
535
10510
151015
201520
252025
302530
353035
403540
454045
504550


I wand to add both weight fields to a WB - and then compare where WB on cost is higher than on sales?

    DennisSchlein Sorry, what is the expected output you desire? Not quite understanding so maybe an example would help. Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
    Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

    Also, please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

    The most important parts are:
    1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
    2. Expected output from sample data
    3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.

  • Hi Greg_Deckler 

    Thanks for the advice, ill have that in mind when posting.

    I wil try to explain a little better 😛


    As example I have a small table:

    Order_idBilledWeightCostBilledWeightSales
    11,01
    21,72,4
    33,810

     




    For both weight columns I want to put them into a weight break that is weight grouped like this:

    WBMinWeightMaxWeight
    101
    212
    323
    535
    10510
    151015



    So both billedweightcost and sales should be put into a WB from 2. table where weight is between min and max weight.

    And then I want to filter those order where WB from cost is higher than WB from sales.


    Order_idWB_SalesWB_Cost
    111
    223
    3510


    Does that make sense?
