Deviation of traffic

Hello Community

 

We have a traffic table which consist of 

- Timestamp (date)

- Id of shop

- Hours

- Entrance traffic

- Exit traffic


With mesures we counted total traffic per day, both for entrance and exit

Entrance_Shop = 
SumX( SUMMARIZE(
       'Traffic',
       'Traffic'[Timestamp],
        'Traffic'[Hour],
        'Traffic'[ID Shop.1],
        'Traffic'[ID Shop.2],
        'Traffic'[Entrance]
        ),'Traffic'[Entrance])
Exit_Shop = 
SumX( 
    SUMMARIZE(
       'Traffic',
       'Traffic'[Timestamp],
        'Traffic'[Hour],
        'Traffic'[ID Shop.1],
        'Traffic'[ID Shop.2],
        'Traffic'[Exit]
        ),'Traffic'[Exit])

As a result we have correct data of entrance and exit traffic by days.

 

Our task is to count deviation of traffic in a specific mathematic way.

sqrt((1550-1278)^2)+((1719-1278)^2)/2)=366

For this example i used data of 2 days 24.05.2022-25.05.2022 and the result should be as calculated abowe.

We divide this data with 2 because we selected 2 days as example. If we will choose more days, formula must divide data with quantity of choosen days. 

 

Our mesure that we use in PBI looks as following:

Deviation = 
VAR _AmDates = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(DATESBETWEEN('Dates'[Date],MIN('Dates'[Date]),MAX('Dates'[Date]))))
VAR _Entrance = 
SumX( SUMMARIZE(
       'Traffic',
       'Traffic'[Timestamp],
        'Traffic'[Hour],
        'Traffic'[ID Shop.1],
        'Traffic'[ID Shop.2],
        'Traffic'[Entrance]
        ),'Traffic'[Entrance])
VAR _Exit =       
 SumX( SUMMARIZE(
       'Traffic',
       'Traffic'[Timestamp],
        'Traffic'[Hour],
        'Traffic'[ID Shop.1],
        'Traffic'[ID Shop.2],
        'Traffic'[Exit]
        ),'Traffic'[Exit])
VAR kvadrat = 
POWER( ABS( _Entrance-_Exit ), 2 ) 
Return
 DIVIDE( SQRT( kvadrat ), _AmDates)

For some reason if I try to count this in PBI I can not achieve this result. I dont know why but we get result of 356,5 instead of 366

 

Please help us to understand correct mesure to achieve correct result of 366

Hello Community

After conducting research, we came to the desired result.

The first thing we did was derive a compute table that deduced the value squared.

_traffic = 
SUMMARIZE(
       'Traffic',
       'Traffic'[ID Shop.1],
       'Traffic'[Timestamp],
       "vx",
            POWER( 
                ABS( 
                    SUM('Traffic'[Entrance]) - SUM('Traffic'[Exit])),2)
        )


The second thing that was done was added dimShop and made connections between the tables

And the last stage of creating a measure, I brought the desired result

Deviation = 
VAR _AmDates = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(DATESBETWEEN('Dates'[Date],MIN('Dates'[Date]),MAX('Dates'[Date]))))
VAR kvadrat = SUM('_traffic'[vx])
Return
 SQRT( DIVIDE( kvadrat , _AmDates))
