I am having trouble with getting a count of products below a user selected threshold. Here is the scenario. I have a table with products and their respective sales:
I calculate the average sales using a measure. Then I factor that average using a what if scenario to arrive at a threshold.
(MEASURE) Ave Sales = CALCULATE(sum('Table1'[Sales])/DISTINCTCOUNT('Table1'[Unit]))
Factor = 40% --> from a user defined What if Scenario
(MEASURE) Threshold = [Ave Sales]*('Factor'[Factor Value])
Ave Sales = 151.25
Factor = 40%
Threshold = 60.5
What I need to know is the number of products below that threshold. In this example, that number should be 2.
I know that measures cannot be used to determine a subset of data in another measure. I have tried dividing the Sales into the Threshold and counting the #'s less than 1 and several other approaches.
Thank you in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
@francino , Try measure
GT Threshold =
var _t = calculate([Threshold], allselected(Table))
return
countx(values(table[product]), if([sales] > _T,[product], blank()))
Below Threshold =
var _t = calculate([Threshold], allselected(Table))
return
countx(values(table[product]), if([sales] <_T,[product], blank()))
@francino , Try measure
GT Threshold =
var _t = calculate([Threshold], allselected(Table))
return
countx(values(table[product]), if([sales] > _T,[product], blank()))
Below Threshold =
var _t = calculate([Threshold], allselected(Table))
return
countx(values(table[product]), if([sales] <_T,[product], blank()))
Thank you! That worked. I made just one small change to the variable by replacing your code with the Threshold measure and it all came together.
