Hi cyuan

Actually, I can't quite understand what you need.

If possible, please attach the expected result with backend logic and special examples? It would be helpful to find out the solution.

Hi ZD,

thanks for reply. I couldn't upload a sample file, basically I have a column of prodcut and one column of customer, column of month of sales, then another column of sales in units.

what I try to do is to work out a way to calculate correlation coefficient for one customer between all products with certain period of historical sales.

Hi cyuan

You can get this result by using the pivot column in Power Query:

Here are steps:

First of all, Select the Product column and click the Pivot column in the Transform pane:

The result is as follow:

But I can't understand how to get the 2%, 24% and -34%, if possible please share the logic of these results.

Best Regards

Thanks ZD for prompt reply.

the % is calculated in Excel with forumla Correl(array1, array2)

I try to use the dax quick measure correlation coeffecient however it ask for 2 columns, in this case it does't really help because i will have more than 2 columns.

thanks

That was my post and answered by @lbendlin. The DAX works perfectly.

Thank you.

thanks Irwan, not precisely, @Ibendlin DAX is autocorrelation and it is a tool to look at correlation for one variable but different lag, it should eventually return to 0. What I am after is 1 v 1 correlation based but multiple comparison.

thanks anyway,.
