Conditional format asset returns based upon weight Averages

Hi

Really would appreciate someones help on this.

I have a table containing the value and returns (e.g. 1 day%, 1 week %,1 month%) for a range of assets grouped into different categories. A simplified dat table would look like this:

 

Asset TypeAsset NameValue £1 day %1 week %1 Month %
StockStock 1100125
StockStock2502-2-1
StockStock 390469
BondBond 145000
BondBond 245123
BondBond 36012-3
Other Other 160125
Other Other 2 70-1-2-4
Other Other 380023

 

I would like to create a matrix which computes weight average return by Asset Type and an overal weight average return for each period. In excel it looks like this:

 

 Value £1 day %1 week %1 Month %
Stocks2402.332.675.25
Stock 1100125
Stock2502-2-1
Stock 390469
Bonds1500.701.40-0.30
Bond 145000
Bond 245123
Bond 36012-3
Other210-0.050.671.24
Other 160125
Other 2 70-1-2-4
Other 380023
Weighted Av. 1.092.403.04

 

I would then like to conditionally colour each cell based on: 

If cell value is greater than 1.2 x weighted average for period - Green

If cell value is less than 0.8 x weighted average for period - Red

 

I am hoping I can do the calculations in the matrix without having to create lots of measures per return period as there are 8 periods X 11 asset types x 40 assets.


All inputs gratefully received

Kind regards

 

Ian

Hi @Anonymous 

 

If the calculations is correct then for the condittional formatting use the following measure:

 

Conditional_Formatting = 
VAR temp_table =
    SUMMARIZE (
        ALL ( Assets[Asset Name], Assets[Asset Type], Assets[Attribute], Assets[Value] ),
        Assets[Attribute],
        "Total Value", [Values]
    )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        SELECTEDVALUE ( Period[Period] ) = "Value £", BLANK (),
        [Values]
            > SUMX ( temp_table, [Total Value] ) * 1.2, "Green",
        [Values]
            < SUMX ( temp_table, [Total Value] ) * 0.8, "Red"
    )

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Redo the measure to:

Conditional_Formatting =
VAR temp_table =
    SUMMARIZE (
        ALLSELECTED (
            Assets[Asset Type],
            Assets[Attribute],
            Assets[Asset Name],
            Assets[Value]
        ),
        Assets[Attribute],
        Assets[Asset Type],
        "Total Value", [Values]
    )
VAR AssetTypeTotal =
    SUMX (
        FILTER ( temp_table, Assets[Asset Type] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Assets[Asset Type] ) ),
        [Total Value]
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISFILTERED ( Assets[Asset Name] ),
        SWITCH (
            TRUE (),
            SELECTEDVALUE ( Period[Period] ) = "Value £", BLANK (),
            [Values] > AssetTypeTotal * 1.2, "Green",
            [Values] < AssetTypeTotal * 0.8, "Red"
        )
    )

@MFelix 

Which measure do I then use to do the conditional format of each cell based on Column Average +/- 20%?

Many thanks

Hi @MFelix 

Having checked my final row columns seems I have a maths error in week and month returns your values are perfectly correct 🙂

Hi @Anonymous 

 

If the calculations is correct then for the condittional formatting use the following measure:

 

Conditional_Formatting = 
VAR temp_table =
    SUMMARIZE (
        ALL ( Assets[Asset Name], Assets[Asset Type], Assets[Attribute], Assets[Value] ),

    )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        SELECTEDVALUE ( Period[Period] ) = "Value £", BLANK (),
        [Values]
            > SUMX ( temp_table, [Total Value] ) * 1.2, "Green",
        [Values]
            < SUMX ( temp_table, [Total Value] ) * 0.8, "Red"
    )

Hi @MFelix 

Many thanks for your solution which works perfectly !!

One last question on this I promise 🙂

Is there a way to apply the +/- conditional formatting based upon the weight average of the Subtotal in the column rather than the whole column 

i.e. stocks measured +/- 20% against weighted average of Stock for the return period not the total weighted average for the return period.

Hopefully I have explained that clearly enough?

Kind regards

Ian

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Redo the measure to:

Conditional_Formatting =
VAR temp_table =
    SUMMARIZE (
        ALLSELECTED (
            Assets[Asset Type],
            Assets[Attribute],
            Assets[Asset Name],
            Assets[Value]
        ),
        Assets[Attribute],
        Assets[Asset Type],
        "Total Value", [Values]
    )
VAR AssetTypeTotal =
    SUMX (
        FILTER ( temp_table, Assets[Asset Type] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Assets[Asset Type] ) ),
        [Total Value]
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISFILTERED ( Assets[Asset Name] ),
        SWITCH (
            TRUE (),
            SELECTEDVALUE ( Period[Period] ) = "Value £", BLANK (),
            [Values] > AssetTypeTotal * 1.2, "Green",
            [Values] < AssetTypeTotal * 0.8, "Red"
        )
    )

Hi  @Anonymous ,

 

You can do the following:

  • Unpivot the period columns on your data
  • Create a new table using the following code:
Period = UNION(DISTINCT('Assets'[Attribute]); {"Value £"})
  • Create the following measure:
Values = 
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Period'[Attribute] ) = "Value £";
    SUMX ( VALUES ( 'Assets'[Asset Name] ); AVERAGE ( 'Assets'[Value £] ) );
    CALCULATE (
        SUMX ( 'Assets'; 'Assets'[Value] * 'Assets'[Value £] )
            / SUM ( 'Assets'[Value £] );
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Assets'[Attribute] );
            'Assets'[Attribute] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Period'[Attribute] )
        )
    )
)

 

  • Configure your matrix in the following way:
    • Rows:
      • Asset Type
      • Asset Name
    • Columns
      • Periods from the Period table
    • Values
      • Values measure

Result below and in attach PBIX file:

I have only one question regarding the last line of the Weight average on the last line how are you calculating the values since all the calculations I have tried don't give the same value.

Hi Miguel

Many thanks for a super quick and comprehensive response I will download and try out the attached file.

The last lien of weighted averages is just a weighted average of the subtotals to give an overal average. I t should come to the same answer as taking all the individual line items.

ie

(Sub total Shares * Total value Shares + sub Total Bonds * Total Value Bond + sub Total Other * Total Value Other)/ Total Value
