Does anyone know how I can embed the following formula 100(sum(KPI1)/sum(KPI1_COUNT))* as a new column. With the sum being based on each unique "Applicant_Company" and "Work_Area" and each month (See below)
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
According to my understanding , you want to calculate SUM(KPI1)/SUM(KPI1_COUNT) based on three categories,right?
You could use EARLIER() or ALLEXCEPT() function shown below:
Column =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[KPI1] ) / SUM ( 'Table'[KPI1_COUNT] ),
FILTER (
'Table',
'Table'[Applicant_Company] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Applicant_Company] )
&& 'Table'[Work_Area] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Work_Area] )
&& 'Table'[Date].[MonthNo] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date].[MonthNo] )
)
)
Column 2 =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[KPI1] ) / SUM ( 'Table'[KPI1_COUNT] ),
ALLEXCEPT (
'Table',
'Table'[Applicant_Company],
'Table'[Work_Area],
'Table'[Date].[MonthNo]
)
)
Here is the final output :

Hi thats great thanks! can I ask, if both the KPI1 and KPI_COUNT columns are 0, do you know how within the formula I can put a IF clause which will make the calculation revert to 100?
Hi @Anonymous ,
The DIVIDE() function was designed to automatically handle division by zero cases.
See the differences between DIVIDE() and / here.

Not sure I follow exacly, maybe you could knock up a mock table to show what you currently have and what the expected result would be with the additional column?
