Hi!
I am new to PBI and already have a challenge that I have been struggling with.
I want to set the profit margin to always be 10% for every sales order line that has "cleaning service" as product type, regardless of what the actual margin would be. For any other product type / sales order line the margin should remain what it is.
Sample Data:
Sales Order Number | Product Type | Sales | Profit | Profit% |
1000 | SUV 1 | 4000 | 1500 | 38% |
1000 | Cleaning Service | 500 | 100 | 20% |
Total | 4500 | 1600 | 36% |
Should turn in:
Sales Order Number | Product Type | Sales | Adj. Profit | Adj Profit% |
1000 | SUV 1 | 4000 | 1500 | 38% |
1000 | Cleaning Service | 500 | 50 | 10% |
Total | 4500 | 1550 | 34% |
The solution has to be a dax measure as I don't have access to the source / can't add columns.

Hi @Anonymous ,
Try to cretae two calculated columns to get the result.
New Profit % = IF(and(Profit[Product Type] = "Cleaning Service",Profit[Profit%]>0.1),0.1,Profit[Profit%])
.
New Profit = IF(Profit[Product Type]="Cleaning Service",DIVIDE( Profit[New Profit %]*Profit[Profit ],Profit[Profit%]),Profit[Profit ])
Use those two columns in your report and you will get your desired output.
Thanks,
Arul
