Hello community,
I want to recreate the following simple Excel formula but can't get it right in Power Bi:
I want to create a calculated column (Deviation) based on the Value column, where each step takes the value of the previous step multiplied by 5%.
"Step" is only one column in Power Bi (one row value for each Step).
Hoping for some tips.
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @tonyclifton
You could add an index column after transposition, so you can create a calculate column using the DAX to reach your solution.
Deviation =
VAR initialvalue = 50
RETURN
IF ( Sheet1[Index] = 1, [Value], initialvalue * 0.95 ^ ( [Index] - 1 ) )
