Hopefully this is easy, but I've been searching for days and have not found it in the forums...
1. Desired Result: Tell me what my profitability is for a variety of regional and revenue buckets. So if I have a profitability of 10% overall, does that profitability change when my deal is worth $1M in revenue vs $20M in revenue? Does that change by region or leader?
2. The Problem: I can use the regional and leader slicers, but when I use the revenue slicer, the measure returns a value of 100%.
3. The Measure: I'm calculating profit as a percentage of revenue. So, basically profit/revenue. I have several slicers so I can see the profit by leader or region, etc. The measure and its interaction with these slicers is fine.
Profit Percentage = CALCULATE(DIVIDE(SUM('CC'[Profit]), SUM('CC'[Rev]), 0), ALLSELECTED())
4. The Problem Slicer: The slicer that is a problem is a revenue slicer, again trying to answer: is our profitability better on smaller deals or bigger deals? The slicer is simply the revenue. I think the issue is that the slicer is also the denominator of the measure.
You cannot measure a measure. Your revenue slicer must be fed from a (pre(calculated)) column.
