weighted Average on specifc lines of table

Hi All,

 

I have a simple table of country, product, sales volume, cost, sales price and margin (CM).

I want to calculate a few averages and weighted averages on it. Please see in example below. I have included the Excel "fromulas" as reference of what i am doing here. Can you help me recreating this in Power BI?
thanks in advance.

HI rbriga.
thanks for your quick reply.

 

to the first one:

thanks that works.

 

to the second one:

If i apply the formula i get these margin upsides per product which seems to be incorrect. I am not sure if i need to transform data in any way to make the formula work. Thanks for your help to solve it 🙂

to the third one:

works if the second one is corrected.

thanks again! 🙂

Of course! "Baseline" was eliminated by the row context. 

Let's change the measure:

 

Margin Upside=
AVERAGE( 'TABLE'[CM] ) - CALCULATE(
    AVERAGE( 'TABLE'[CM] ),
    ALLSELECTED( 'TABLE'[Prod-Type] ),
    KEEPFILTERS( 'TABLE'[Prod-Type] ="Baseline" )
)

The first is relatively simple. 

SUMX('TABLE NAME',
'TABLE NAME'[VOL]*'TABLE NAME'[CM]
)

and put it in context.

 

As for the second, 

you can go with

AVERAGE('TABLE NAME'[CM])-
CALCULATE(
AVERAGE('TABLE NAME'[CM]),
KEEPFILTERS('TABLE NAME'[Prod-Type] = "Baseline")
)

 

And the third:

SUMX('TABLE NAME',
'TABLE NAME'[VOL]*[Margin Upside]
)

where [Margin Upside] is the measure we created in step 2.
