STATIC Classification ABC

Hi,

 

I'm new to power BI and I'm trying to add ABC classification to my model.

 

I'd like this classification to be static and not dynamic :

- I want my ABC to stay the same, regardless of the filter on the report

 

I tried this methodology but the "EARLIER" function does not seem to work : https://www.daxpatterns.com/abc-classification/

Moreovre, I do not quite understand this part of the code : 

[CumulatedSales] =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Products[ProductSales] ),
    ALL ( Products ),
    Products[ProductSales] >= EARLIER ( Products[ProductSales] )
 
In my data model I have a product table and a sales table, I do not know how to interpret Products[ProductSales] as both are in a separate table for me
 
Thanks a lot for your help,
 
Antoine
 
(PS : The Dynamic ABC works really well)

    Hi,

    The only way to make it static is to write calculated column formulas.  I think it will be easier to solve this question by writing measures but that would make the classification dynamic.

      I've upload this simple table :

       

      https://easyupload.io/msazon

       

      What I want is to classify in PowerBI all of my products based on the sales (pareto rule) (ABC classification).

      My output is for every Product, I want to have a new classification  "A" / "B" or "C" .

      Output example :

      ProductTotal SalesCumulated SalesCumulated PercentageABC
      A110010055%A
      A25015083%B
      A32017094%B
      A410180100%C

      - To be calculated in Power BI

       

      I also want it to be static : when I use a slicer in Power BI I do not want this ABC to be dynamically adjust.

       

      Thanks for your help !
