Hi,
I'm trying to create a Calculated Column in PowerBI that provides me with the result shown in Table A, Column "ActiveWeight_vs_AAA" below.
This is a simple conditional sumif calculation: security weight in the current row minus security weight in portfolio AAA. If I was using Excel I would write and drag down the formula as:
=C2-SUMIFS($C:$C, $A:$A,"AAA", $B:$B, B2)
Examples:
(1) In Table A/Row 2, [ActiveWeight_vs_AAA] = 5%-5% = 0%.
(3) In Table A/Row 4, [ActiveWeight_vs_AAA] = 8%-5% = 3%.
(3) In Table A/Row 6, [ActiveWeight_vs_AAA] = 18%-0% = 18%.
It feels like it should be very straight forward but I am struggling. Any thoughts would be sincerely appreciated.
(Also any advice on Calculated Column vs. Measure would be useful - for instance, it would be great to have Portfolio AAA controlled by a portfolio dropdown slicer in the PowerBI dashboard).
Table A
| Portfolio | SecurityID | Weight | ActiveWeight_vs_AAA |
| AAA | bond_1 | 5% | 0% |
| BBB | bond_1 | 1% | -4% |
| CCC | bond_1 | 8% | 3% |
| DDD | bond_1 | 10% | 5% |
| BBB | bond_2 | 18% | 18% |
| CCC | bond_2 | 15% | 15% |
| DDD | bond_2 | 10% | 10% |
Solved! Go to Solution.

Try this column formula
Column =
'Dataset'[Weight]-
SUMX(
FILTER(
ALL('Dataset'),
'Dataset'[Portfolio]="AAA"&&
'Dataset'[SecurityID]=EARLIER('Dataset'[SecurityID])
),
'Dataset'[Weight]
)
Thanks

For making it dynamic through a slicer, please refer to the Power BI file
Hope this helps
Thanks
