Passing a column inside a VAR on Dax

Anonymous — Fri, 21 Jan 2022 11:47:52 GMT

Hi all,

I have this measure: # Products OOS = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Product'[Config_ID]), 'Product'[Stock Max date] = 0)

That has inside:

'Product'[Config_ID] -> Non-calculated column
'Product'[Stock Max date] -> Calculated column

I want to pass 'Product'[Stock Max date] to a variable inside the measure # Products OOS. Can you help me?

Stock Max date = CALCULATE(SUM('Stock'[stock_quantity]), FILTER('Dim Date', 'Dim Date'[Date] = MAX('Dim Date'[Date])))

What am I trying?

Thanks

Diego

Hi Anonymous , this part of your sode is not working "stock_max_date = 0". The reason is the stock_max_date is a Table; not a value. You would need to change to something like "FILTER ( stock_max_date , [xD] = 0 )". See if this works.

HI Anonymous

The ADDCOLUMNS is a tabular function and will return a table so you can not use that VAR in your calculation.

Read this: https://radacad.com/power-bi-dax-back-to-basics-scalar-vs-tabular-functions

Can yoiu share a sample of your data in a text format with relationships between your tables along with the expected result.

Hi, Anonymous

Try this:

# Products OOS = VAR Stock_Max_date = ADDCOLUMNS( stock, "xD", CALCULATE( SUM( 'Stock'[stock_quantity] ), FILTER( 'Dim Date', 'Dim Date'[Date] = MAX( 'Dim Date'[Date] ) ) ) ) VAR Products_OOS = CALCULATE( DISTINCTCOUNT( 'Product'[Config_ID] ), FILTER( Stock_Max_date, [xD] = 1 ) ) RETURN Products_OOS

If this doesn't work for you, could you please consider sharing more details about it.
It makes it easier to give you a solution.

Hi v-angzheng-msft

You don't know how incredible you are!!
Still have this issue with the below:

I have three CALCULATED COLUMNS :

average_is = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[DF Items]), ALLSELECTED(ProdSup[Config_ID])) / 60
stock_max_date = CALCULATE(SUM('Stock'[stock_quantity]), FILTER('Dim Date', 'Dim Date'[Date] = MAX('Dim Date'[Date])))
flg_low_14d = IF(AND('Product'[Average IS]*14 > 'Product'[Stock Max date],'Product'[Stock Max date]>0) , 1, 0)

MEASURE:

# Prod coverage<14D = SUM('Product'[FLG_Low_14D])

How can I pass this inside a variable?

What I'm trying:

Hi, Anonymous

Try this:

VAR prod_coverage_14d=SUMX(flg_low_14d,[@xD]) RETURN prod_coverage_14d

Try this:

Hi v-angzheng-msft

Kind odd, but doesn't work. It only recognizes the VAR average_is

Please consider sharing more details about it and posting expected result so it is clear on what needs to be implemented? And It would be great if there is a sample file without any sesentive information here.

Hi v-angzheng-msft ,

Just to remark, my main goal with this is to make some slicers work(Fullfillment type slicer from stock doesnt work because of the calculated columns).

You can find in the link below the sample:

Many thanks sir

Try this:

VAR _average_is = ADDCOLUMNS( 'Product', "@average", CALCULATE( SUM( Sales[DF Items] ), ALLSELECTED( ProdSup[Config_ID] ) ) / 60, "@stock_max", CALCULATE( SUM( 'Stock'[stock_quantity] ), FILTER( 'Dim_Date', 'Dim_Date'[Date] = MAX( 'Dim_Date'[Date] ) ) ) ) VAR _flg_low_14d = ADDCOLUMNS( _average_is, "@xD", IF( AND( [@average] * 14 > [@stock_max], [@stock_max] > 0 ), 1, 0 ) ) VAR prod_coverage_14d = SUMX(_flg_low_14d,[@xD]) RETURN prod_coverage_14d
