Selected Value Times Each Row?

Thigs — Tue, 12 Apr 2022 12:52:07 GMT

Hi all

I am trying to create some kind of formula that would work based on a selected value/what if parameter. My what if parameter is how many days of stock I want to have on hand - it is whole numbers from 1 - 60.

Then I have created a summary table that has Item ID, Month, Average items sold per day, and total items sold during that month. I want to create a formula that multiplies the average number of items sold per day by the stock days on hand (what if parameter). Here is what I've tried -

Inventory Units =

VAR InternalTable = summarize('Order Data','Order Data'[ITEM_ID],'Order Data'[Month], "Units per Day", sum('Order Data'[ORIG_ORDER_QTY])/DISTINCTCOUNT('Order Data'[Date Time]), "Units per Month", sum('Order Data'[ORIG_ORDER_QTY]))

VAR InvUnits = sumx(InternalTable, [Units per Day] * SELECTEDVALUE('Days of Inventory'[Days of Inventory]))

RETURN

InvUnits

This is just returning blanks for each row. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What is the relationship between the two tables? How does your visual look like?

Between which two tables? The summary table? Right now I only have the one table and the what-if parameter, which I have not connected to anywhere. The Days of Inventory is a what-if parameter that simply contains numbers between 1-60.

I officially got it to not be blank, but now it's all the same value -

Try

Inventory Units = DIVIDE ( SUM ( 'Order Data'[ORIG_ORDER_QTY] ), DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Order Data'[Date Time] ) ) * SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Days of Inventory'[Days of Inventory] )

I think this worked! Double checking it now manually to make sure, but it looks good!
