I'm trying to calculate a yield. Take the following example. I have a table where I have sales data per SKU per month (Table_sales). Several SKU's are linked to a single asset. The relation between the asset and SKU's in maintained in a seperate table (Table_Asset). Next to this I have a table that contains some key metrics on the assets like a loss percentage (Table_Asset_Metric). Table_Asset and Table_Asset_Metric are linked to eachother.
I'm trying to calculate to calculate the amount of assets I'm losing based on the sales.
Here an example.
SKU A 2000 sold in month 1 --> SKU A is shipped in Asset XYZ
SKU A 3000 sold in month 2 --> SKU A is shipped in Asset XYZ
SKU B 1000 sold in month 1 --> SKU B is shipped in Asset XYZ
SKU B 2000 sold in month 2 --> SKU B is shipped in Asset XYZ
Per shipment of Asset XYZ I have loss of 2%.
I would like to calculate the total amount of asset XYZ I'm losing. In excel I would calculate like this:
Loss asset XYZ = ( total volume SKU A + total volume SKU B) * Asset loss per shipment = (2000 + 3000 + 1000+ 2000) * 2% = 160
Table sales:
SKU Month volume
A 1 2000
A 2 3000
B 1 1000
B 2 2000
C 1 500
C 2 1000
Table_Asset
SKU Asset
A XYZ
B XYZ
C 123
Table_Asset_Metric
Asset Losses%
XYZ 2%
123 5%

Hi @Anonymous ,
Here is the PBIX SKU
This was pretty straightforward with your good explanation. Thank you. However when I added the filters, I realized that one would need a weighted average loss dollar amount if there were more than 1 loss percentage. (i.e. select A and C ) So that was interesting.
If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.

Total Sales for Selected SKU = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Volume]),ALLSELECTED(Sales[SKU])) sumx(sales,Sales[Volume] * [Losses per Asset Carrier All Selected]) Percentage Loss = Divide([Total Losses],[Total Sales for Selected SKU]) Losses per Asset Carrier All Selected = CALCULATE(AVERAGE(ASSET_METRIC[Losses%]),Filter(Sales,Sales[SKU]=(Sales[SKU])))

hi Nathaniel
I got an additional challenge. 😉 Assume that I add in the example above a column to the table with the losses. I would the column year. In this case I would insert a loss % value for 2018 and another row with a value for 2019. How should I calculate in this case the same but taking e.g. the loss for 2019 only.
Hi @Anonymous ,
Can't add years to this table.
