Calculated Column

Hi,

Based on the following diagram,



I want to create the next calculated column, value, in the table INDICATOR based on two metrics and one variable:

value=(deliveries/planedDeliveries)*weight

metrics:

mDeliveries = sum(deliverie)
mPlanedDeliveries = sum(planedDeliverie)

I have done this but i'm not getting the correct values, so i created another two costum columns deliveries and planedDeliveries, to check what was causing the trouble:

deliveries = mDeliveries
planedDeliveries = mPlanedDeliveries

and i verified that the column planedDeliveries is giving diferent values from the expected in each line, i also tried to calculate:

planedDeliveries = CALCULATE( SUM (TASK[planedDeliverie]), FILTER (TASK, GE_TAREFAS[ID_Indicador] = EARLIER (INDICATOR[ID_Indicador] )))

but is giving me the same wrong values.

When i filter the metric planedDeliveries in the Dashboard it is giving correct values.

Can you someone tell me why i am not getting correct values in the costum column for the planedDeliveries ?

Thanks,
ROCO

  • Anonymous you have to add these as measures, not columns.

      parry2k thanks for the reply, but as i said above i already tried with measures (metrics):
      value=(deliveries/planedDeliveries)*weight
      metrics (measures):
      mDeliveries = sum(deliverie)
      mPlanedDeliveries = sum(planedDeliverie)
      but i'm not getting the correct values...
      I have to get all the INDICATOR values in the column value to do other further calculations based on that column.
      As i said the problem is with the measure mPlanedDeliveries = sum(planedDeliverie) that is not giving the correct values in each row of the INDICATOR table.

       

      Do you know or have an idea why?

    Hi Anonymous 

    You could create measures as below

    sum_delivery = SUM(task[delivery])
    
    sum_planned = SUM(task[planned delivery])
    
    measure_value = ([sum_delivery]/[sum_planned])*SUM(indicator[weight])

     

    Best Regards

      Hi v-juanli-msft ,

       

      Thanks for the answer, i already did those metrics, but the problem is that the metric:

      SUM(task[planned delivery])

       is giving me diferent values from the expect ones, when i calculate it in a custom column, i need to do this calculation in a custom column:

      ([sum_delivery]/[sum_planned])*SUM(indicator[weight])

      because i need to do further calculation based on the values of this column.

      It's strange because the sum(task[delivey]) is giving correct values, but the sum(task[planned delivey]) not, when calculated in the custom column.

       

      Do you have any idea why this is happening?

        I just noticed what the problem is, i want to filter the Calculated Column:

        planned_Deliveries = SUM(task[planned delivery])

        In the report by Task[date], and it's not filtering (this column comes from SSAS).

         

        Is it possible to filter a Calculated Column from SSAS in Power BI?
