Filtering a cloumn with text

Anonymous — Thu, 16 Jan 2020 15:33:42 GMT

Pleas can someone help with this. I have searched and cant find the answer to my question(s).

How to filter a column with text only without using the page or visual filters.

I am creating a report that shows how many sales have been made by source. We have many online platforms and this leads me onto my next question.

What i was hoping to do was to filter by source. Then each of the sources has their own fees to take into account. Over all i am wanting to be able to create a report that does the following.

Calculates totals by source.

deduct the differnt fees per source to provide an exact profit report.

Exaple

Source 1, base fee 0.30p per transaction, 12% of total order.

Source 2, base fee 0.30p per transaction, 5% of total order.

Source 3, base fee 0.30p per transaction, 7% of total order.

Source 4, base fee 0.00p per transaction, 20% of total order.

Source 5, base fee, 15% of total order. or £1 depending what value is more

I have a calender table and date table. with most of the measures as i am 80 %complete just need this part answering.

Many thanks

Ben

since you have provided very little information about your model and data, this is a bit of guess work. Are you sure you can't handle fees within a calculated column, like this:

sales fee = VAR _sumFees = transactions[total order value] * LOOKUPVALUE ( dimFees[base transaction fee]; dimFees[source]; transactions[source] ) + transactions[total order value] * LOOKUPVALUE ( dimFees[percentage of total order]; dimFees[source]; transactions[source] ) VAR _minFee = LOOKUPVALUE ( dimFees[minimum value]; dimFees[source]; transactions[source] ) RETURN IF ( _sumFees > _minFee; _sumFees; _minFee )

if you need it as a measure you should look into the sumx-function

Measure = SUMX ( VALUES ( transactions[transactionID] ); VAR _source = SELECTEDVALUE ( transactions[source] ) VAR _minFee = LOOKUPVALUE ( dimFees[minimum value]; dimFees[source]; _source ) VAR _baseFeePrTrans = LOOKUPVALUE ( dimFees[base transaction fee]; dimFees[source]; _source ) VAR _totalFee = LOOKUPVALUE ( dimFees[percentage of total order]; dimFees[source]; _source ) RETURN IF ( CALCULATE ( SUM ( transactions[total order value] ) ) * _totalFee + CALCULATE ( COUNT ( transactions[transactionID] ) ) * _baseFeePrTrans < _minFee; _minFee; CALCULATE ( SUM ( transactions[total order value] ) ) * _totalFee + CALCULATE ( COUNT ( transactions[transactionID] ) ) * _baseFeePrTrans ) )
