Expression for comparing a column vs measure for each row in a table

Hi All,

 

I am a beginner in DAX and I am trying to figure out how to achieve the following using either a calculated column or a measure.

Requirement:

Find the 

"No of Products" ( condition : No of days a product is on hand based on Avg usage in Selected Month Range > Avg of days in the Selected Month Range)
Dimension Table has all Products attributes and On Hand Quantity 
Fact Table has Month and Usage 
Dynamic filter for selecting month Range.
 
Steps done: 
Measure1= Calculated the Quantity used based on Month Range selected 
Measure2 = Calculated No of days based on the Month range selected
Measure3 = Calculated Avg no of days based on the Month range selected
Calculated Column1: (Here I am trying to create a flag) in Dimension table
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
AND(Dimension [Quantity_On_Hand]>0, Measure1>0), Dimension[Quantity_On_Hand]/Measure1/Measure2,
AND(Dimension[Quantity_On_Hand]>0,Measure1<=0), -99,
    Dimension[Quantity_On_Hand]=0, 0
)
Measure4 =
CALCULATE (
DISTINCTCOUNT(Product_No),
FILTER(Dimension,Calculated Column1 > Measure3),
Dimenson [Product_Status]="A")
 
Though I am getting Approx value but it doesnt seem dynamic as when I change the month range the Measure4 doesnt change.
 
I would appreciate any help on this.
 
Thanks.

the calculated column in a table is not dynamic - it is populated only when the table is refreshed. So Measure4 is always filtering the same A records

you could create a temporary one using ADDCOLUMNS in your Measure4

 

I could help you write it if you post some example (in format that can be copied to PowerBI) from your model with anonymised data? Like this (just copy and paste into the post window).

Hi Stachu,

Did you get a chance to look into the sample data?

Thanks
