Dividing a sum of group by a unique value depending on group

Hi guys,

 

Im quite new here really appreciate your help.

 

I have a Orders table comprise of Sales, Outlets, and Outlet_Size columns. I'm trying to calculate the rate, which is something like this DIVIDE(SUM(Orders[Sales],Sales[Outlet_Size]). But how do I write a query that can divide a total of all columns, to one single value depending on which outlet ?


Appreciate your help !

 

Thank you

Hello, please can you provide some dummy data to better understand what you are trying to achieve? An example of the calculation you want to perform will help to better understand the outcome you are seeking. Thanks.

Hey thanks for your reply.

 

Suppose my data looks like this :

 

Sale (USD)OutletsOutlets Size (Sqft)
10A500
15A500
10B1500
20C1000
10B1500
30C1000

 

What I'm trying to look for is the totalsales/outletsize (USD/sqft). So it'll work by grouping them into their outlets (A/B/C), sum up the total sales, and divide by their respective outlet size. So for outlet A it'll be 25(USD)/500(sqft) and etc. 

 

Sorry if my explanations and examples are not that well. Appreciate all the help I can get. 

 

Thanks !

Hi @naufal_msr ,

Since you have the same row value in the table, recommend that you can create a calculated column like this:

Result = 
DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Sale (USD)] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Outlets Size (Sqft)] )
    ),
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( 'Table'[Outlets Size (Sqft)] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Outlets Size (Sqft)] )
    )
)

Hi Yingjie Li,

 

Thanks this actually helps. But i guess I should mention that I needed this to work with my date range filter. There's also a date column. How do I apply this formula if there are date filter in it ?

 

DateSale (USD)OutletsOutlets Size (Sqft)
1/1/202110A500
1/1/202115A500
2/1/202120A500
2/1/202125A500
1/1/202110B1500
1/1/202115B1500
1/1/202120C1000
2/1/202110B1500
2/1/202130C1000

 

Thank you !
