Hi all
I am trying to create some kind of formula that would work based on a selected value/what if parameter. My what if parameter is how many days of stock I want to have on hand - it is whole numbers from 1 - 60.
Then I have created a summary table that has Item ID, Month, Average items sold per day, and total items sold during that month. I want to create a formula that multiplies the average number of items sold per day by the stock days on hand (what if parameter). Here is what I've tried -
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try
Inventory Units =
DIVIDE (
SUM ( 'Order Data'[ORIG_ORDER_QTY] ),
DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Order Data'[Date Time] )
)
* SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Days of Inventory'[Days of Inventory] )
What is the relationship between the two tables? How does your visual look like?
Between which two tables? The summary table? Right now I only have the one table and the what-if parameter, which I have not connected to anywhere. The Days of Inventory is a what-if parameter that simply contains numbers between 1-60.
That is strage. Must be something in the visual. But ofcaurse you select only value right? Can you please share a screenshot
I officially got it to not be blank, but now it's all the same value -
Try
Inventory Units =
DIVIDE (
SUM ( 'Order Data'[ORIG_ORDER_QTY] ),
DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Order Data'[Date Time] )
)
* SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Days of Inventory'[Days of Inventory] )
I think this worked! Double checking it now manually to make sure, but it looks good!
