Is it possible to code this in DAX?
Hello World!
Is it possible to code this in DAX - im having a hard time doing so and reltively new to DAX!
=(X/Y)^(1/((P-Q)*100))-1
Where X and Y are related in the same column - P and Q are also related in the same column.
However X and Y are not in the same column as P and Q
X is in the same row as P, Y is in the same row as Q
However X and P are not in the same row as Y and Q
| X | P |
| Y | Q |
Finding it hard to relate to a specific cell in DAX

I believe it could be possible... however, how are X&Y and P&Q related in the table? Is it just consecutive records, or dates ? Can you share sample data

Hi,
There is a hidden function called OFFSET which can help you.
E.g.
Data:
Dax:Measure 25 =var offsetindex= offset(1,ALLSELECTED('Table (15)'[Index]),orderby('Table (15)'[Index],asc))
var x = SELECTEDVALUE('Table (15)'[Column1])
var y =
CALCULATE(MAX('Table (15)'[Column1]),ALL('Table (15)'),'Table (15)'[Index]=offsetindex)
var p = SELECTEDVALUE('Table (15)'[Column2])
var q =CALCULATE(MAX('Table (15)'[Column2]),ALL('Table (15)'),'Table (15)'[Index]=offsetindex) //calculate column2 value based on idex offset
returnif(ISBLANK(offsetindex),"NA",DIVIDE(x,y)^(1/((p-q)*100))-1)
End result:
There are also other ways to do this kind of calculation using idex, but here I am specifically using relation to other "cells" as the basis for calculation.
I hope this post helps to solve your issue and if it does consider accepting it as a solution and giving the post a thumbs up!

X & Y are given net conversion rates whist P & Q are Distrupts
For example
-0.02 0.75% 0 0.50% - AnonymousNot applicable
I think its worth noting that the table would look like this, so would need more than a 2x2 table and i would like it to update when the data refreshes (if possible)
Disrupt Header Header Header Header Header Header Header Header -0.02 Cell Cell 0.75% Cell Cell Cell Cell Cell Cell Cell Cell Cell Cell Cell Cell Cell Cell 0 Cell Cell 0.50% Cell Cell Cell Cell Cell I think I need somehting to refer to a specfic cell in a way

Easily in Excel, but seems not possible in DAX, where the data is evaluated column by column. If you look at the DAX codes, mostly refer to columns or tables.
