Data Model for Stock Data and Portfolio Tracking - Need Guidance
Anonymous
Thanks for your reply. That formula helps, but it doesn't really answer my question. I see what it is doing in looking up the price of the stock the day I bought it.
My question really is more about the structure of my data. Is it in a format where I can easily perform calculations between the two tables? I think the answer is no due to the difficulty I'm having in referencing the columns when writing a calc. column or measure.
I'm trying to understand the PBI best practices and make sure that I'm not cutting corners by writing a ton of formulas to force the software into doing something it wasnt designed to do. I want to have a true comprehension in the way that PBI performs calculations and understand the way the best method for building a data model within the software.
