DAX Function for 'Customers also bought'
- 9 years ago
Hi JosephJC
A Basket Analysis pattern will work for this.
http://www.daxpatterns.com/basket-analysis/
Here's a dummy example pbix
First create a 'Filter Product' table with an inactive relationship with your Orders table:
You use the 'Filter Product' table to select the product(s) to be analysed.
Then, assuming you have created your base measures for Quantity/Price etc, you create 'basket analysis' measures with this pattern (taken from DAX Patterns):
Order Quantity for Customers who bought Filter Product = CALCULATE ( [Order Quantity], CALCULATETABLE ( SUMMARIZE ( Orders, Orders[Customer] ), ALL ( Orders[Product] ), USERELATIONSHIP ( Orders[Product], 'Filter Product'[Filter Product] ) ) )This measure will return the Order Quantity for any Products purchased by Customers who purchased the products selected in 'Filter Product'.
Hopefully this or something similar meets your needs.
Cheers,
Owen
Hi Owen,
I have a similar problem with subscription. I think your solution will work fine, but i need an extra check. Subscription have a start and an end date, and i want to check if the subscription were active during the same period.
Can you help me?
Hi WettenVamos
Yes, I think I can help with that.
Just to confirm the requirements:
Comparing with the example above, rather than "Products" you have "Subscriptions".
Each Subscription has a start & end date.
Any given customer may have purchased multiple Subscriptions
Then (as an example) you want to be able to see for customers that purchased Subscription A, which other Subscriptions did they purchase, as long as the Subscriptions overlap in time?
Could you show what your tables or data model look like?
Regards,
Owen
