    Hello V-lianl-msft 

     

    Thanks for your feedback. I was able to make it work !

     

    In the file you can see 3 sheets (dropbox Link)https://www.dropbox.com/s/mc14wegnnubptd8/200416%20TEST%20Power%20BI.xlsx?dl=0 

     

    1. A sample file – with all units part of the same LOT (LOT1)
    2. The formula that we used – this is the same as the one posted by you – but I had to add Count_NF and use it in the return line (the example you posted had only 1 line NF, the formula would not work with more than 1 NF line)
    3. A new sample file with units being part of 2 Lots (LOT1 and LOT2)

     

    The question I have now is how do I update my formula in order to make it work for a data base that has 2 Lots or more: the data base has units of 2 different lots but I need to run the calculations lot by lot, separately

     

    Thanks so much !

      Hi MarcRapenne ,

       

      I recreated pbix based on the data you provided.

      Column = 
VAR COUNT_ID =CALCULATE( COUNT('Table'[PW Grade]),FILTER('Table','Table'[PW Grade]<>"NF"&&'Table'[LotNumber]=EARLIER('Table'[LotNumber])))
VAR COUNT_NF = CALCULATE( COUNT('Table'[PW Grade]),FILTER('Table','Table'[PW Grade]="NF"&&'Table'[LotNumber]=EARLIER('Table'[LotNumber])))
VAR SUM_PRICE =CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[BuyPrice]),FILTER('Table','Table'[LotNumber]=EARLIER('Table'[LotNumber])))
VAR _50 = 0.5*'Table'[BuyPrice]
RETURN IF('Table'[PW Grade]="NF",_50,(SUM_PRICE-_50*COUNT_NF)/COUNT_ID)

      See if this meets your needs.

      Sample .pbix

       

       

      Best Regards,
      Liang

        Hi V-lianl-msft ,

         

        Thank you, this worked great!

        Now I am wondering if I can keep adding filters within"EARLIER". Because unfortunately, after looking at all my historical data, some lots have different items within them which therefore have a different Buy Price (example pictured) 

        This messes up the Adjusted Price since the calculation is at LOT level. I tried to add another Filter (Model) but something doesn't seem to be working. 

        Thank you again for all your help!

        Marc
