How can I create these calculated measures?
- 4 years ago
Hi Anonymous ,
This is a bit like a cumulative multiplication algorithm. power bi only supports the calculation of existing data, and cannot perform the next calculation based on its own calculation results. But we can optimize this algorithm.
Here is the logic of my calculation, you can refer to it.assum a = factor * multiplier
p2 = b1 + a1
p3 = b2 + a2
p4 = b3 + a3
and
b2 = p2+b1
b3 = p3+b2
b4 = p4+b3
so ->
b2 = b1(1+a2)
b3 = b1(1+a2)*(1+a3)
b4 = b1(1+a2)*(1+a3)*(1+a4)
And the measures for [balance] and [profit] is:
balance = VAR _b_s = SUMMARIZE ( CALCULATETABLE ( report, FILTER ( ALLEXCEPT ( report, 'report'[version] ), [time] <= MAX ( 'report'[time] ) ) ), [version], [time], "fac", [multiplier] * SUM ( report[factor] ) + 1 ) RETURN PRODUCTX ( _b_s, [fac] ) profit = VAR _factor = SUM ( report[factor] ) VAR _a = [multiplier] * _factor VAR _b_s = SUMMARIZE ( CALCULATETABLE ( report, FILTER ( ALLEXCEPT ( report, 'report'[version] ), [time] < MAX ( 'report'[time] ) ) ), [version], [time], "fac", [multiplier] * SUM ( report[factor] ) + 1 ) VAR _result = PRODUCTX ( _b_s, [fac] ) * _a RETURN IF ( ISBLANK ( _result ), _a, _result )Resutl:
Pbix in the end you can refer.

You could use power query to add the previous balance to the current row, that would make the calculations much simpler and more efficient.
In power query, sort the data by the appropriate column, then add an index column, 0-based. You can then add a new custom column called previous_balance using something like
if [index] = 0 then null else #โAdded Indexโ[balance]{[index] โ 1}
