Hi experts,
I have a claculated measure, which is strongly related to Date-Values. In a Time range, I would like to sort asc this measure and then calculate the average of n values of it.
n is:
Quantile:=
var CalculateQuantil= ROUNDUP(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table1[Date_SID]) * 0,2;0)
return CalculateQuantil
and then:
How can I do that in dax?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi,
Are you trying to balancing the data in bin buckets or just try to get the averages, I need to create a balancing funcinality like quantile but I was not been able to do it, do you know if there are any functions in PBI,
thanks?
I think this thread will answer your question.@sturlaws, give the DAX with the PBIX file that you can download.

Thank you sir for yor post:
I am trying the following Dax:
Quantil:=
var CalculateQuantil= ROUNDUP(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table[Date_SID]) * 0,2;0)
return
CALCULATE([Measure1];
FILTER(VALUES(Table[Date_SID]);
RANKX(VALUES(Table[Date_SID]);[Measure1];True()) <= CalculateQuantil))
but I get this error:
Error: Calculation error in measure 'Table Analysis'[Quantil]: Function 'RANKX' does not support comparing values of type Number with values of type True/False. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values.
What is my mistake?
@Fariba1984 This looks like a measure aggregation problem. See my blog article about that here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Design-Pattern-Groups-and-Super-Groups/ba-p/138149
The pattern is:
MinScoreMeasure = MINX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
MaxScoreMeasure = MAXX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
AvgScoreMeasure = AVERAGEX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
etc.
