Calculating Weighted Sales

I need help in calculating weighted sales.

Context:

There are two tables; Sales transaction and Sales Weights tables (examples attached with dummy data).

Sales is divided into direct and indirect sales. If it is indirect sales is alocated to sales rep. who is covering that specific customer. On the other side if sales is direct, then sales amount should be splitted to sales reps by weights given in Sales Weights table.

Relationship between tables:

In order to create relationship between two tables, bridge table is created with unique code created by merging category and customer code.

  

How to create formula that will calculate weighted sales for direct sales for each sales rep per customer per category? Some switch formula 

Thanks

Hi @Ilija89 ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community Forum.

 

You are expecting  formula that will calculate weighted sales for direct sales for each sales rep per customer per category.

 

Please refer below output snap and attached PBIX file.

Hi @v-dineshya ,

 

Sorry for late reply. Thank you for solution, but I have one remark. In pbix file all sales reps have the same indirect sales but it shouldnt be. Formula is summing indirect sales and it is the same for all sales reps. G.L. should have 43,342 and A.K. 7,878 indirect sales while other sales reps should have 0. 

Hi @Ilija89 ,

Please refer below updated DAX measure.

Weighted Sales =
SUMX (
    Sales,
    SWITCH (
        TRUE(),
     
        Sales[Sales Type] = "Indirect" &&
        SELECTEDVALUE ( Weights[Sales Representative] ) = Sales[Sales Rep],
            Sales[Sales amount],

        Sales[Sales Type] = "Direct",
            Sales[Sales amount] *
            CALCULATE (
                MAX ( Weights[Weight] ),
                TREATAS ( { Sales[Category-Customer Code] }, Weights[Category-Customer Code] ),
                TREATAS ( VALUES ( Weights[Sales Representative] ), Weights[Sales Representative] )
            ),
        0
    )
)
 
Please refer output snap and attached PBIX file.

Hi @v-dineshya. thanks for replying, solution is partly correct. New formula assigns indirect value for sales reps but for all customers. For this particular case, indirect sales is available only for AB customer, category 1, for sales rep G.I. 43.342 and KG customer for sales rep A.K. 7.878 for category 2. For al lother customers we should have values, but this formula asign these values for all customers. Coul you check? thank you a lot for help!

Hi @Ilija89 

 

Thanks to @v-dineshya , I think you need to update the measure as follows:

 

Weighted Sales =
SUMX (
    Sales,
    SWITCH (
        TRUE(),
        Sales[Sales Type] = "Indirect",
            CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales amount]),FILTER(Sales,Sales[Sales Rep]=SELECTEDVALUE(Weights[Sales Representative]))),
        Sales[Sales Type] = "Direct",
            Sales[Sales amount] *
            CALCULATE (
                MAX ( Weights[Weight] ),
                TREATAS ( { Sales[Category-Customer Code] }, Weights[Category-Customer Code] ),
                TREATAS ( VALUES ( Weights[Sales Representative] ), Weights[Sales Representative] )
            )
    )
)
 
 
If this post helps, then I would appreciate a thumbs up and mark it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

Thanks @Selva-Salimi! I tried it, but it asigns indirect values for all customers for slaes reps that we have indirect sales. Do you know what we should change in calculation? 

@Ilija89 ,

 

Are you sure that you use "SELECTEDVALUE"?? would you please share your measure? and also would you please tell me about the relations between the tables? are they "single" direction?

hI @Selva-Salimi , latest measure attached:

Weighted Sales =
SUMX (
    Sales,
    SWITCH (
        TRUE(),
     
        Sales[Sales Type] = "Indirect" &&
        SELECTEDVALUE ( Weights[Sales Representative] ) = Sales[Sales Rep],
            Sales[Sales amount],

        Sales[Sales Type] = "Direct",
            Sales[Sales amount] *
            CALCULATE (
                MAX ( Weights[Weight] ),
                TREATAS ( { Sales[Category-Customer Code] }, Weights[Category-Customer Code] ),
                TREATAS ( VALUES ( Weights[Sales Representative] ), Weights[Sales Representative] )
            ),
        0
    )
)
Relations are "single" direction.

@Ilija89 ,

 

would you please update the "indirect" part, the same as what I have mentioned in previous post? I mean...

Sales[Sales Type] = "Indirect",
            CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales amount]),FILTER(Sales,Sales[Sales Rep]=SELECTEDVALUE(Weights[Sales Representative]))),

Hi @Ilija89 

I am almost there but it seems to me that the tables are not complete (?)


For example, in Sales there is a row for Cust KG, category 2 and Salesman AK which is not refelected in the weights table, am I wrong? If you can cover all the Sales cases in the weights table, that will help me debug and send you the solution

 

Thanks

Hi @FBergamaschi this is the case that I am facing with. In tis particualr situation if for specific customer sales rep is asigned then sales is equal to that sales rep, in other case when sales is direct then  we should calculate that row by multypling that sales with weights given for that customer.

Hi @FBergamaschi above are dummy data examples.

Thanks!

 

Hi @Ilija89 ,

 

Please add an example of what you need as output? a table including customers, sales rep, and weights?!

Hi @Selva-Salimi I need output as total sales of particular sales rep (sum of direct and indirect sales).per category per customer.

Thanks, Ilija

Hi @Ilija89,

it seems nothing difficult but to help you in the best possible way, please can you attach the tables with dummy data in a usable format? Not an image but text

 

Thanks
