Hi
I am trying to create a Measure to work out a percentage of time remaining on a project, this takes into account todays date. All the data in in a single table. The table has many rows, the difference is they have a varied budgets amounts but they all share the same 'Code', and same 'Start' and 'End' date. I can created a calculated columns hoping this would help but my calculation just throughs out odd amounts; I am sure its becase there is the same value for each code per row. I cant groupby the table, this is my sample:
Sample Data
So I was aiming to create ameasure that when I select the code 'ABC' in a matrix or pivot, I just get "-1%", but it does some thing alltogether and seems to add up numerous values.
I have tried formula like: SUMX('TableA', sum('TableA'[Remaining Days')/sum('TableA'[Project No Of Days]))
I alos attempted a separte measure for calculatign the "no of days" rather than a calculated column, but again odd results, sample forulmula like this: SUMX('TbaleA', sum('TableA'[End Date')-SUM('TableA'[Start Date]))
Is it something to do with 'Row Context' maybe? There is no filter contect, that I know of. What am I doing wrong, in theory its a simple calculation?

Solved! Go to Solution.

You need two measures:
Remaining Days =
INT(TODAY() - MAX(Project[End date]))
% Remaining =
DIVIDE(
[Remaining Days],
MAX(Project[Project No of days])
)

@Anonymous , Try like
avergageX(summarize(Table, Table[code],Table[StartDate],Table[endDate],"_1", max(Table[project no of Days]), "_2",max(Table[remaining Days])), divide([_2],[_1]))
@Anonymous
What is your expected results ? Can you show it for one code?
Can you try this :
m =
SUMX('TableA',
DIVIDE(
'TableA'[Remaining Days],
'TableA'[Project No of days])
)

Hi Fowmy
This is the results I get:
code | Start Date | End date | Project No of days | This is what it should be ::Remaining Days | The resulst I want ::Time remaining % | New Measure |
ABC | 05/09/2016 | 04/08/2020 | 1429 | -20 | -1% | -5% |
ZZZ | 01/05/2008 | 31/12/2008 | 244 | -4254 | -1743% | -15752% |
AAA | 01/12/2019 | 30/11/2020 | 365 | 98 | 27% | 27% |
EFG | 01/07/2018 | 30/12/2020 | 913 | 128 | 14% | 127% |
The colums in Green is what I am tryign to acheive.
The column in Blue is what I am am trying to acheive.
The column in Red is the new measure, its getting there slowly.
I made sure all the values come from the same table, trying to remove an filter context. I may need to rethink my how I am doing calculations, these are based around todays date.
Alos even though not inlustrated, onthe source tabel theerare several rows for ABC, ZZ etc, here I am just showing one line for simplicity.
Project No of Days = start date-end date
Remaining Days = End Date - Today()
% Time Remaining Measure = Remaining Days / Project No of Days

Looking better thanks. I also need to calculate a % percentage through the budget but I will use the examples posted here to work that part out.
Cheers Again.
