New Measure - Percentage based on two quantities

Morning All,

 

I've used commnity support in the past on things such as VBA and again more recently following a D365 go-live and learning to link PBI and Dynamics..

From pulling a warehouse cycle counting table into PowerBI, I am then trying to add in a column that will give me the percentage for each count. I have managed to return a figure using DIVIDE. However I will need additional conditions if anyone is able to help please.

If you expect say 10pcs, but count 11, I would need this to instead return 90% accuracy, rather than 110%.

So far, the formula used is: 

Percentage = DIVIDE([ExpectedQuantity], [CountedQuantity])

So the solution I have managed to get to work is:

Measure 1

Accuracy =
 VAR OnHand = SUM(CycleCountingWarehouseWorkLinesV3[ExpectedQuantity])
 VAR CountedQuantity = SUM(CycleCountingWarehouseWorkLinesV3[CountedQuantity])
 VAR MinValue = MIN(OnHand, CountedQuantity)
 VAR MaxValue = MAX(OnHand, CountedQuantity)
 VAR Accuracy = IF(MaxValue = 0,0,DIVIDE(MinValue, MaxValue, 0))
RETURN Accuracy * 100


Measure 2
AverageAccuracy = Averagex(CycleCountingWarehouseWorkLinesV3,[Accuracy])

Hello,

I hope  you are doing well!

 

I have gone through your query along with the sahred picture of data.

 

As far as i know in this filter contex the desired output is not achievable.

 

If you are able to try other way to achive it please try that.

 

thanks,

Ajendra

Hi, thanks for the above! I have used the measure (also posted below) but returns:

"The syntax for 'return' is incorrect. (DAX(var_CountedQuantity=CALCULATE(COUNT(CycleCountingWarehouseWorkLinesV3[ExpectedQuantity]),FILTER((ALLSELECTED(CycleCountingWarehouseWorkLinesV3[CountedQuantity]=MAX(CycleCountingWarehouseWorkLinesV3[ExpectedQuantity])))
return DIVIDE([ExpectedQuantity Value],_CountedQuantity)))."

Hi @SF2023 ,

 

If you want a dynamic [ExpectedQuantity], you can try what-if parameters.

After the what-if parameter is created, you get a dynamic [ExpectedQuantity] that can be modified by slicers.

Here's the measure to calculate the percentage.

Percentage = 
var _CountedQuantity=CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[ID]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[ID]=MAX('Table'[ID])))
return DIVIDE([ExpectedQuantity Value],_CountedQuantity)
