This is a bit of an odd post, since I have a workable solution to my task. I just can't help feeling there's a simpler, more elegant way to accomplish the task.
I have a hierarchical table of activities, subactivities, and complexity levels. I need to add a column that computes the percentage weight for each activity sublevel. Here's the table:
Activity | Subactivity | Level | Weight |
A | SA01 | 1 | |
A | SA02 | 1 | |
A | SA03 | 2 | |
A | SA04 | 2 | |
A | SA05 | 2 | |
A | SA06 | 3 | |
A | SA07 | 3 | |
A | SA08 | 4 | |
B | SA09 | 1 | |
B | SA10 | 2 | |
B | SA11 | 2 | |
B | SA12 | 3 | |
B | SA13 | 4 | |
B | SA14 | 4 | |
C | SA15 | 1 | |
C | SA16 | 1 | |
C | SA17 | 1 | |
C | SA18 | 1 | |
C | SA19 | 1 | |
C | SA20 | 2 | |
C | SA21 | 2 | |
C | SA22 | 3 | |
C | SA23 | 3 | |
C | SA24 | 3 | |
C | SA25 | 4 | |
C | SA26 | 4 |
In the weight column, I want to compute the percentage contribution of each Subactivity for each combination of Activity and Level. For example, there are two Subactivity values for Activty = A and Level = 1, so these would each have a Weight = 50%.
Here's my current code for the Weight column:
Weight =
VAR tmpTable =
SUMMARIZE(
'Data',
'Data'[Activity],
'Data'[Level],
"Pct", DIVIDE(1, COUNTROWS(DISTINCT('Data'[SubActivity])), BLANK())
)
VAR currentActivity = [Activity]
VAR currentLevel = [Level]
VAR filteredTable = FILTER(tmpTable, [Activity] = currentActivity && [Level] = currentLevel)
VAR result = SUMX(filteredTable, [Pct])
RETURN
result
This just feels kludgy. How can I simplify this?
Many thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @CloudHerder ,
you can try this:
Weight = 1 / CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table_[Subactivity]), ALLEXCEPT(Table_,Table_[Activity], Table_[Level]))
If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly. Appreciate your Kudos.

@ERD Thanks so much! This is just what I was looking for. I need to get more familiar/comfortable with the ALLEXCEPT function.
