Hi all,
I have trouble with grouping measure values. I have table events with columns: Product, measure Price1 (p1) and then created measure Price2 (p2) from p1, and then Differece between these two prices (Diff), also a measure:
Product
| p1 (measure) | p2 (measure) | Diff (p1-p2) |
a1 | 5,525 | 5,515 | 0,010 |
b2 | 5,535 | 5,515 | 0,020 |
b4 | 5,525 | 5,505 | 0,020 |
b6 | 5,520 | 5,510 | 0,010 |
c3 | 5,520 | 5,500 | 0,020 |
c5 | 5,525 | 5,520 | 0,005 |
a5 | 5,530 | 5,510 | 0,020 |
d2 | 5,505 | 5,500 | 0,005 |
d4 | 5,525 | 5,520 | 0,005 |
Now I want to group (count) these differences in this way, Value 0,005 is shown 3 times in table, 0,010 is shown 2 times, etc.:
Diff | Total |
0,005 | 3 |
0,010 | 2 |
0,020 | 4 |
but it doesn't allow me to group measure valus.
(The CALCULATE function cannot be used in an expression argument for the GROUPBY() function.)
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks!
I resolved this issue in a way that I created new table from existing one with a Diff as a column. And then regular DISTINCTCOUNT works.
hi @Tokkerashid
following your description, you may try to create a measure like this:
Measure =
VAR _table1 =
ADDCOLUMNS(
SUMMRIZE(
Products,
Products[Product],
Products[P1]
),
"p2", [p2]
)
VAR _table2 =
ADDCOLUMNS(
_table1,
"Diff",
Products[p1]-[p2]
)
VAR _diff = SELECTEDVALUE(SegmentTable[Diff])
RETURN
COUNTROWS(FILTER(_table2), [Diff]= _diff )
The measure is supposed to plot a table visual with the SegmentTable[Diff] column. The Products table and SegmentTable are unrelated.
if case of issue, please consider providing some sample data.
Hi @FreemanZ ,
Unfortunatelly it is not working. Also p1 is a measure, and it is all one same table (Events).
it is not allow me to add in selectedvalue a measure
