Calculating a dynamic benchmark with multiple conditions

Anonymous — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 19:07:40 GMT

Hi all,

I am struggling with a problem and I hope you can help.

My star schema looks like this: fact sales, dim product, dim country, dim store

I am trying to achieve the following (mind you I have a composite model in my report with 2 DQ connections and I cannot use PowerQuery)

I have a measure 'revenue'. Based on this measure I want to calculate a revenue share % for my products against the total revenue.
Like:
product A 20%
product B 14%
product C 0.4%

This is achieved easily by a metric like:
product revenue share %
VAR total_revenue_fixed = calculate([revenue], REMOVEFILTERS(dim_product[product_name])
VAR revenue_product = [revenue]
RETURN
DIVIDE(revenue_product, total_revenue_fixedl)

Now I want to add more complexity.
When selecting a store from a report slicer, I want to see the product revenue share % for similar stores (say store group).
The problem is that I need an average of my original product revenue share % per store group to show up per store id (mapped to a certain store group).

So I need an average measure of an existing measure in a new context, which is of course not possible in PBI. I need to make sure that my store slicer(s) do not affect my original 'product revenue share %' and its components (like total revenue).

How can I achieve this?
I hope it's clear what I am asking.

I'm sorry I cannot provide any sample data. That's why I tried to describe my data model and tables completely. What is not clear?

"a certain store group".

That is an attribute of a store, something like a 'store type group', it's used as a slicer to filter on similar stores.
