Helper ICreating a Measure
Hi,
I made a calculationg in SQL.. and i need to convert it to a measure in Power BI.
In my SQL i have 3 tables (FactParkingViolation,DimIssuer,DimIssuingAgency), when i added the the tables to Power BI i made a megre between the two tables - DimIssuer & DimIssuingAgency. so now I have two tables in Power BI -FactParkingViolation and DimIssuer.
I'm not so familiar with Dax that's way i don't know how to create this measure.
Help will be much appriciated!
This is the SQL Query:
SELECT SUM(IssuingAgencyAverageYearlySalary)*0.03
FROM(
SELECT DISTINCT(DI.IssuerID) ,IssuingAgencyAverageYearlySalary
FROM FactParkingViolation FPV LEFT JOIN
DimIssuer DI ON FPV.IssuerKey = DI.IssuerKey
LEFT JOIN DimIssuingAgency DIA
ON DI.IssuingAgencyCode = DIA.IssuingAgencyCode
WHERE YEAR(IssueDate) = 2016 ) R

SHAKEDALROY , You have create 1 - Many retion between dimesions and fact
DimIssuingAgency - FactParkingViolation, DimIssuer -FactParkingViolation , Also join FactParkingViolation with date table having year on IssueDate (Date[Date])
Then You can add +0 in the measure you are creating to have left join
To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.

SHAKEDALROY the DAX For this is simple:
Salary Measure = SUM(FactParkingViolation[IssuingAgencyAverageYearlySalary])*0.03
Or if you want it always for the year 2016:
UPDATED SYNTAX:
Salary 2016 = SUMX(FILTER(FactParkingViolation, RELATED(Table[IssueDate]) = 2016), [IssuingAgencyAverageYearlySalary])*0.03)
The trick is creating the relationships. You don't need to do the Merge if you don't want to, but you do need to create relationships on FPV.IssuerKey = DI.IssuerKey and DI.IssuingAgencyCode = DIA.IssuingAgencyCode

SHAKEDALROYHi AllisonKennedy thank you for your reponse,
i needed to make that merge for different calculations.. i tried to add 'related' to the DAX formula you wrote to me but it still doesn't work, do you know way?
thank you.

SHAKEDALROY It looks like you have an extra ) before the comma. Sorry, that was my fault as it was in my formula too. That's what I get for writing DAX blindly!
Hi SHAKEDALROY ,
You could leran the merge from this link.
After you merged, try this measure.
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[IssuingAgencyAverageYearlySalary]),FILTER('TABLE',YEAR([IssueDate]) = 2016))*0.03
