Hi,
My sales data are from SQL database and my weight data are from Excel spreadesheet.
This is my model diagram:
Now I want to calculate my sales by weight. So I am looking for some fomular like this:
Sales/Weight
This has to be filtered by hierarchy.
I tried this DAX measure:
Weight =
VAR catW = SELECTEDVALUE(weight[catgory])
VAR deptW = SELECTEDVALUE(weight[subdept])
VAR catS = SELECTEDVALUE(CAT_TAB[categoryDesc])
VAR deptS = SELECTEDVALUE(SDP_TAB[DepartmentDesc])
RETURN
IF(catW=catS && deptW=deptS,SUMX(weight,weight[weight],0))
The weight only return a total aggregation of weight, it doesn't break down by hierarchy. Thus I can't use this weight to divide my sales.
What is my issue? Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks.
@az38 Thanks for the adivse.
I found if I add the department and category from weight into the visulazation table, I can break down weight correctly.
I think my following question would be: is there any workaround for use my sales hierarchy to break down my weight data?
Here is what I have now:
I am expecting use the hierarchy of weight to break down the sales OR use the hierarchy of sales to break down the weight.
