I'm trying to extract the top % of products by sales for each customer. the script below returns the cumulative percentage but not in order. What I want is to sort them from high to low and then run the code below.
Solved! Go to Solution.
output
measures :
ranking measure :
rnk =
RANKX(
ALLSELECTED(tbl1[Product]),CALCULATE(sum(tbl1[monthly sales])),,DESC)
measure cumul :
cumulative sum =
var current_ranking = [rnk]
var s =
CALCULATE(
SUM(tbl1[monthly sales]),
FILTER(
ALLSELECTED(tbl1[Product]),
[rnk] <=current_ranking
)
)
return s
cumult%
cumult % =
[cumulative sum]
/
CALCULATE(SUM(tbl1[monthly sales]), ALLSELECTED(tbl1[Product])
)
if my ansswer helped sort things out for you, i would appreciate a thumbs up 👍 and mark it as the solution ✅
It makes a difference and might help someone else too. Thanks for spreading the good vibes! 🤠

I cant share teh data model. the data is sensitive. But this is more or less what i have. I want to calculate the running total for all product for each customer sorted from high to low

This is a list of all the product for a certain customer. The sales column is already sorted from high to low. I want the cumlutavie% column to be the running sum of Sale%. right not it is calculating the running sum but in a different order. In the end I want to be able to filter products by the top % (i.e. top50% or top 80%)
