DAX Help

Dear Experts,

 

I'm building a Power BI matrix that compares peer clients against a selected client's service offerings. The goal is to identify which peers have or don’t have the same offerings as the selected client, and flag those gaps as potential cross-sell opportunities
 
Data Model:
  • Pipeline table with columns: Prospect Client Name, Service Offering, Total Value Of Potential Sale.
  • ClientSlicerTable (disconnected from the Pipeline table) used to select a single client.)
  • Peer clients are filtered using a PeerFilter measure (same sector, excluding selected client) which is set to 1 based on the below measure
    PeerFilter =
    VAR _selectedClient = SELECTEDVALUE( ClientSlicerTable[Prospect Client Name] )
    VAR _selectedSector = CALCULATE(
        MAX( Pipeline[Client Sector] ),
        ALL( Pipeline ),
        Pipeline[Prospect Client Name] = _selectedClient
    )
    VAR _rowSector = MAX( Pipeline[Client Sector] )
    VAR _rowClient = MAX( Pipeline[Prospect Client Name] )
    RETURN
        IF( NOT ISBLANK(_selectedClient) &&
            _rowSector = _selectedSector &&
            _rowClient <> _selectedClient,
            1,
            0
        )
     
    I need to display the potential cross-selling value for peer clients who currently have no sales (blank or 0) for service offerings that the selected client already has. The goal is to identify where peers are missing offerings that the selected client provides, and estimate the potential value they could generate if they adopted those offerings
  • to do that i have used the below measure 
    CrossSellSales_Final =
    VAR _selectedClient = SELECTEDVALUE( ClientSlicerTable[Prospect Client Name] )
    VAR _currOffering   = SELECTEDVALUE( Pipeline[Service Offering] )
    VAR _selectedHasOffer =
        CALCULATE(
            COUNTROWS( Pipeline ),
            REMOVEFILTERS( Pipeline[Prospect Client Name] ),       -- ignore current peer filter
            Pipeline[Prospect Client Name] = _selectedClient,
            Pipeline[Service Offering]    = _currOffering
        )
    VAR _peerSales = [sales]
    VAR _baseResult =
        IF( ISBLANK( _selectedClient ), BLANK(),
            IF( _selectedHasOffer = 0, BLANK(),
                IF( NOT ISBLANK( _peerSales ), _peerSales, 0 )
            )
        )
    RETURN
        _baseResult,  this measure doesn't give me what i am looking for
     

    in the above example Financial statemnt audit and Financial Statement review are the sales offerings for ANB capital but in peer Client table, i only want to see, if peer client doesn't have both or one of the offerings, their potential sales value should be picked from the first table of Selected clients.

    I hope i was able to explain the requirement, might be a small dax fix in my current dax measure, would be great to get some support

 

  • Finally figured it out 

     

    CrossSell (Only fill from selected when peer blank) =

    VAR SelectedClient = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'ClientSlicerTable'[Prospect Client Name] )

    VAR RowClient      = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'MatrixPeers'[Prospect Client Name] )

    VAR CurrOffering   = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Pipeline'[Service Offering] )

    RETURN

    IF (

        NOT ISINSCOPE('MatrixPeers'[Prospect Client Name]) || NOT ISINSCOPE('Pipeline'[Service Offering]),

        BLANK(),

        VAR SelectedSector =

            CALCULATE ( MAX('Pipeline'[Client Sector]), REMOVEFILTERS('Pipeline'),

                TREATAS({SelectedClient}, 'Pipeline'[Prospect Client Name]) )

        VAR RowSector =

            CALCULATE ( MAX('Pipeline'[Client Sector]), REMOVEFILTERS('Pipeline'),

                TREATAS({RowClient}, 'Pipeline'[Prospect Client Name]) )

        VAR PeerSales =

            CALCULATE ( [sales], REMOVEFILTERS('Pipeline'),

                TREATAS({RowClient}, 'Pipeline'[Prospect Client Name]),

                TREATAS({CurrOffering}, 'Pipeline'[Service Offering]) )

        VAR SelectedClientSalesForThisOffering =

            CALCULATE ( [sales], REMOVEFILTERS('Pipeline'),

                TREATAS({SelectedClient}, 'Pipeline'[Prospect Client Name]),

                TREATAS({CurrOffering}, 'Pipeline'[Service Offering]) )

        RETURN

            IF (

                RowClient = SelectedClient || RowSector <> SelectedSector || ISBLANK(SelectedSector),

                BLANK(),

                IF ( ISBLANK(PeerSales), SelectedClientSalesForThisOffering, BLANK() )

            )

    )

  • Hi vjnvinod,

     

    It seems the issue is with the logic you are implementing,

     

    Try below DAXs to fix this issue

     

    Sales :=
    SUM ( Pipeline[Total Value Of Potential Sale] )

     

    Selecting Client’s Sales for Current Offering

    SelectedClient_Offering_Sales :=
    VAR _selectedClient =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( ClientSlicerTable[Prospect Client Name] )
    VAR _currOffering =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Pipeline[Service Offering] )
    RETURN
    CALCULATE (
    [Sales],
    REMOVEFILTERS ( Pipeline[Prospect Client Name] ),
    Pipeline[Prospect Client Name] = _selectedClient,
    Pipeline[Service Offering] = _currOffering
    )

     

    Finally calculate cross sell 

     

    CrossSellSales_Final :=
    VAR _selectedClient =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( ClientSlicerTable[Prospect Client Name] )

    VAR _peerSales =
    [Sales]

    VAR _selectedClientSales =
    [SelectedClient_Offering_Sales]

    RETURN
    IF (
    ISBLANK ( _selectedClient ),
    BLANK(),

    -- Selected client does NOT have this offering → hide row
    IF (
    ISBLANK ( _selectedClientSales ) || _selectedClientSales = 0,
    BLANK(),

    -- Peer HAS the offering → show actual peer sales
    IF (
    NOT ISBLANK ( _peerSales ) && _peerSales > 0,
    _peerSales,

    -- Peer does NOT have it → show potential from selected client
    _selectedClientSales
    )
    )
    )

      thank you, but unfortunately dax still doesn't work, for example in the below view for Peer client Abhudhabi Global market  doesn't have sales in RI-Financial Crimes, so it should pick up the value from selected clients sales value from RI-Financial crimes, in this case $45K, so this $45K becomes potential cross selling opportunity?

      Not sure if i am able to explain this

        vjnvinod , Have two measures like below, use the second measure M2 with ClientSlicerTable or pipeline Prospect Client Name

         

         

        M1 =
        VAR _selectedClient = SELECTEDVALUE( ClientSlicerTable[Prospect Client Name] )
        _tab = summarize(filter(Pipeline, Pipeline[Prospect Client Name] = _selectedClient ), Pipeline[Client Sector] )
        return
        Countrows(filter(Pipeline, Pipeline[Client Sector] in _tab))


        M2 = Countx(values(ClientSlicerTable[Prospect Client Name]) , If(ISBLANK([M1]),[Prospect Client Name], blank()))

         

        or

         

         

        M2 = Countx(values(Pipeline[Prospect Client Name] ) , If(ISBLANK([M1]),[Prospect Client Name], blank()))

         

        If both tables are joined first one should work. Else try second M1

  • vjnvinod Hey,
    I am taking some assumption for your requirement and creating dax based on that.

     

    Assumptions

    • [Sales] = SUM of Pipeline[Total Value Of Potential Sale].
    • Matrix: Rows = Pipeline[Prospect Client Name], Columns = Pipeline[Service Offering].
    • Visual-level filter: PeerFilter = 1 (your existing measure).

    Key measure (show selected client’s value when peer lacks the offering)
    CrossSellPotential =
    VAR SelectedClient = SELECTEDVALUE(ClientSlicerTable[Prospect Client Name])
    VAR RowClient = MAX(Pipeline[Prospect Client Name])
    VAR CurrOffering = SELECTEDVALUE(Pipeline[Service Offering])
    VAR SelValue =
    CALCULATE(
    [Sales],
    REMOVEFILTERS(Pipeline[Prospect Client Name]),
    Pipeline[Prospect Client Name] = SelectedClient,
    Pipeline[Service Offering] = CurrOffering
    )
    VAR PeerValue = [Sales]
    RETURN
    IF(
    ISBLANK(SelectedClient) || RowClient = SelectedClient,
    BLANK(),
    IF( SelValue > 0 && (ISBLANK(PeerValue) || PeerValue = 0),
    SelValue, -- potential = selected client’s value
    BLANK() -- hide if peer already has the offering or selected lacks it
    )
    )

    Optional flag (to filter/highlight only gaps)
    CrossSellFlag =
    VAR SelectedClient = SELECTEDVALUE(ClientSlicerTable[Prospect Client Name])
    VAR CurrOffering = SELECTEDVALUE(Pipeline[Service Offering])
    VAR SelHas =
    CALCULATE(
    [Sales] <> 0,
    REMOVEFILTERS(Pipeline[Prospect Client Name]),
    Pipeline[Prospect Client Name] = SelectedClient,
    Pipeline[Service Offering] = CurrOffering
    )
    VAR PeerHas = NOT ISBLANK([Sales]) && [Sales] <> 0
    RETURN IF(SelHas && NOT PeerHas, 1, 0)

    How to use

    • Put CrossSellPotential in Values.
    • Keep PeerFilter = 1 on visual to show only peers.
    • Optionally add a visual-level filter CrossSellFlag = 1 to show only gap cells.

    Few more suggestion- 

    • If your [Sales] can have duplicates per offering, SelValue sums them; switch to MAX/AVERAGEX if needed.
    • Ensure the client slicer is single-select; otherwise wrap logic with HASONEVALUE.

     


    Thanks

    If I resolve your issue. Kindly give kudos to this post and accept it as a solution so other can refer this.

  • Hi,

    Could you share some dummy data set to work with and show the expected result.  Share data in a format that can be pasted in an MS Excel file.

    Re: Identifying Cross-Sell Opportunities in Matrix with Disconnected Table

    Body:

    Hello! This is a classic "Gap Analysis" requirement. The issue in your current measure is that _peerSales is returning BLANK for the gaps, and the logic isn't explicitly fetching the "Potential Value" from the Selected Client to fill that gap.

    ​To achieve this, you need to calculate the value the Selected Client has for that specific offering and use that as the "Potential" value when the peer has no sales.

    ​Try this updated measure:

    CrossSellSales_Final = 

    VAR _selectedClient = SELECTEDVALUE( ClientSlicerTable[Prospect Client Name] )

    VAR _currOffering = SELECTEDVALUE( Pipeline[Service Offering] )

     

    -- 1. Get the value the Selected Client has for this offering

    VAR _potentialValue = 

        CALCULATE(

            SUM( Pipeline[Total Value Of Potential Sale] ),

            REMOVEFILTERS( Pipeline[Prospect Client Name] ),

            Pipeline[Prospect Client Name] = _selectedClient,

            Pipeline[Service Offering] = _currOffering

        )

     

    -- 2. Check if the Peer Client in the current row has sales

    VAR _peerSales = [sales]

     

    -- 3. Logic: If Selected Client HAS it AND Peer DOES NOT have it, show Potential Value

    RETURN

        IF( ISBLANK(_selectedClient), BLANK(),

            IF( _potentialValue > 0 && ISBLANK(_peerSales), 

                _potentialValue, 

                _peerSales 

            )

        )

    Why this works:

    _potentialValue: Instead of just counting rows, we use SUM to get the actual dollar value from the Selected Client's record for that offering.

    The IF Condition: It checks if _potentialValue exists (meaning the Selected Client uses this service) and if _peerSales is BLANK. If both are true, it "plugs the gap" with the potential value.

    Note: Ensure your Matrix rows are Prospect Client Name (from the Pipeline table) and columns are Service Offering.

    I hope this helps you identify those cross-sell opportunities! If this resolves your issue, please mark this post as an "Accepted Solution" to help others in the community. Happy New Year!

    Best regards,

      that doesn't work either, it expands all my offerings on the 2nd table while i want to restrict the offerings of what being selected

        Thank you for the feedback! I see what happened—the previous measure was returning a value for every offering in your database. To restrict the rows so you only see the offerings the Selected Client has, we need to add a filter check at the start of the measure.

        ​Try this updated version:

         

        CrossSellSales_Final = 

        VAR _selectedClient = SELECTEDVALUE( ClientSlicerTable[Prospect Client Name] )

        VAR _currOffering = SELECTEDVALUE( Pipeline[Service Offering] )

         

        -- 1. Check if the Selected Client actually has this offering

        VAR _selectedHasOffer = 

            CALCULATE(

                COUNTROWS( Pipeline ),

                REMOVEFILTERS( Pipeline[Prospect Client Name] ),

                Pipeline[Prospect Client Name] = _selectedClient,

                Pipeline[Service Offering] = _currOffering

            )

         

        -- 2. Get the potential value from the Selected Client

        VAR _potentialValue = 

            CALCULATE(

                SUM( Pipeline[Total Value Of Potential Sale] ),

                REMOVEFILTERS( Pipeline[Prospect Client Name] ),

                Pipeline[Prospect Client Name] = _selectedClient,

                Pipeline[Service Offering] = _currOffering

            )

         

        VAR _peerSales = [sales]

         

        -- 3. Logic: Only show data IF the selected client has the offering

        RETURN

        IF( ISBLANK(_selectedClient) || _selectedHasOffer = 0, 

            BLANK(), 

            IF( ISBLANK(_peerSales), _po

        tentialValue, _peerSales )

        )

         

        Why this fixes the "Expanding" issue:

        The IF(_selectedHasOffer = 0, BLANK(), ...) part is the key. In Power BI, if a measure returns BLANK(), the Matrix automatically hides that row or column. By forcing a BLANK whenever the Selected Client doesn't own the offering, the 2nd table will shrink to match only the Selected Client's portfolio.

        I hope this restricted view is exactly what you are looking for! If this resolves the expansion issue, please mark this as an "Accepted Solution."
