plot median value for selected category

I'm trying to plot the median value of counts for 'SC' category based on selection of 'deposit balance group' category on a bar chart. I created a measure using DAX which can calculate the median values. But it looks like my DAX formula is wrong and it's calculating the median for the entire table and not per category.

 

For Eg, The median value for $100K-$150K group for 'CD' category should be 36, but its showing 270 on the bar chart.

 

My sample data:

 

countSCDeposit Balance Group
20CDGT $2M
18CD$150K-$200K
12CD$200K-$250K
42CD$200K-$250K
17CK$100K-$150K
11CK$100K-$150K
11CK$100K-$150K
17CK$100K-$150K
47CK$100K-$150K

 


The DAX measure I created:

 

 

Measure = 
MEDIANX (
    SUMMARIZE (
        Sheet1,
        Sheet1[SC],
        "Total Count", SUM ( Sheet1[count] )
    ),
    [Total Count]
)

 


Please let me know how can I overcome this situation.

 

Thanks

I've attached the pbix file which has the complete data and measure formula: pbix file 

 

  • Hi Anonymous -

     

    You're over-thinking it ğŸ˜Š.  By doing a Summarize you are totalling all of the counts and then performing MEDIAN on a single value. You would do something similar if you needed to count up the records from raw data, but since you already have the counts, all your measure needs is MEDIAN()

     

     

    Hope this helps
