How to do different calculation when drillup

[siva6063]

Hi All

Thanks in Advance.

Im stuck with this requitement, it would be great if i get some help.

I have this wiered requirement, that, the drill up to higher level should do a different calculation based on the results from the previous level . Is this ever possible.

Matrix At Lower Level (SubCategory :

In the table below, category, subcategory, density and price i get from source table

I have a measure in report to calculate cost=Density*Price

Calculation at this hierarchy level is the cost

Category	Subcategory	Density	Price	cost
Packets	Plastic	1000	$50	$50000
Packets	Plastic1	1000	$50	$50000
Packets	Plastic2	850	$40	$34000
Cups	Paper	550	$55	$30250
Cups	Paper1	550	$47	$25850

Matrix when drill up to Category 2

Sshould show up like below. Basically, calculation here is the price, which is

sum (cost for the category) from previous hierarchy level divided by

sum (density for the category) in the previous hierarchy level

Category	Density	Price	cost
Packets	Sum(1000+1000+850) =2850	Formula =Cost/density 134000/2850=47.017	sum(50000,50000,34000)=134000
Cups	Sum(550+550)=1100	56100/1100=51	sum(30250+25850)=56100

I tried several methods but stil no success. Not sure if i have explained it clearly.

Can someone help?

Hi @siva6063 ,

Write a measure llike this.

Values =
VAR _inscopecat =
    ISINSCOPE ( 'Table'[Category] )
VAR _inscopesub =
    ISINSCOPE ( 'Table'[Subcategory] )
VAR _totalpricebycat =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Price] ),
        ALLEXCEPT (
            'Table',
            'Table'[Category]
        )
    )
VAR _totaldensitybycat =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Density] ),
        ALLEXCEPT (
            'Table',
            'Table'[Category]
        )
    )
VAR _totalcost =
    SUMX (
        'Table',
        'Table'[Density] * 'Table'[Price]
    )
VAR _totalcostbycat =
    SUMX (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Table' ),
            'Table'[Category]
                = MAX ( 'Table'[Category] )
        ),
        'Table'[Density] * 'Table'[Price]
    )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        _inscopesub
            = TRUE (), DIVIDE (
            _totalcostbycat,
            _totaldensitybycat
        ),
        _inscopecat
            = TRUE (), _totalcost
    )

Hi @siva6063,

You'll need to use a SUMX formula for this one. Something along these lines

SUMX(

    YourTable,

    Density * Price

)

This effectively iterate through all rows of YourTable calculating Density * Price and then adds them all up. This measure should work no matter what level you then drill into.

Hope it helps. If I answered your question please mark my answer as a solution so others can find this in the future.

What you have explained will result in a circular reference error as Cost at product level needs Price to be calculated, so we can't use that same cost to calculate the price again without it being in a separate field/measure /column.

You will need to use something like SUMX ultimately to do what you want.
