Divide with Filter

[Anonymous]

Quick question, I'm trying to get the % of cold weight cattle by a particular weight (between 16 & 21 kg) I've followed the divide by filter as indicated in the following forum thread:https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Divide-With-a-Filter/m-p/74842#M31094

and ended up with this DAX formula: 

Cold Weight = DIVIDE(CALCULATE(COUNT(Sheet1[Company_Id]),filter(Sheet1,Sheet1[Intake_Data_Cold_Weight] >=16 && Sheet1[Intake_Data_Cold_Weight] <=21),CALCULATE(COUNT(Sheet1[Company_Id]))))

Yet my DAX formula keeps brining up an error message: "Something's wrong with one or more fields: (Sheet1) Cold Weight: Too few arguments were passed to the DIVIDE function. The minimum argument count for the function is 2.

Can anyone help?

@Anonymous you can do something like this

FILTER(Sheet1,Sheet1[Intake_Data_Grade] IN {"E2","code", "Code", "Code", "Code"})

@Anonymous here is the fix in your DAX

old Weight = 
DIVIDE(
CALCULATE(
COUNT(Sheet1[Company_Id]),
filter(
Sheet1,
Sheet1[Intake_Data_Cold_Weight] >=16 && 
Sheet1[Intake_Data_Cold_Weight] <=21
)
),
CALCULATE(
COUNT(Sheet1[Company_Id])
)
)

, you are missing one bracket before 2nd calculate and there is one extra at the end.

Would appreciate Kudos 🙂 if my solution helped.

Yeah that worked but it's presented me with another problem.

When I use my original calculate filter :

Cold Weight = CALCULATE(COUNT(Sheet1[Company_Id]),filter(Sheet1,Sheet1[Intake_Data_Cold_Weight] >=16 && Sheet1[Intake_Data_Cold_Weight] <=21))

I get 157,269 results out of a total company id of 239,323 = 65.7%

Where the formula you so kindly gave me gives me 87%, do I have something in the wrong order?

@Anonymous I think your 2nd part of the formula is wrong

CALCULATE ( COUNT(Sheet1[Company_Id] ), ALLSELECTED() )

Believe you want divide by count of all compny ids'

@parry2k So I've entered :

Cold Weight =

DIVIDE(

CALCULATE(

COUNT(Sheet1[Company_Id]),

filter(

Sheet1,

Sheet1[Intake_Data_Cold_Weight] >=16 &&

Sheet1[Intake_Data_Cold_Weight] <=21

)

),

CALCULATE(

COUNT(Sheet1[Company_Id] ),

ALLSELECTED() ))

And I'm still getting 87%, not sure how it keeps coming up?

@parry2k Error on my part. Apologies.I had a filter applied to only select a certain grade which I didn't apply to the DAX query. Is there a way to add another filter for e.g. for grades E2, E3, E3L,& R2,R3,R3L & U2,U3, U3L

Cold Weight =

DIVIDE(

CALCULATE(

COUNT(Sheet1[Company_Id]),

filter(

Sheet1,

Sheet1[Intake_Data_Cold_Weight] >=16 &&

Sheet1[Intake_Data_Cold_Weight] <=21

),FILTER(Sheet1,Sheet1[Intake_Data_Grade] = "E2")

),

CALCULATE(

COUNT(Sheet1[Company_Id] ),

ALLSELECTED() )))

@Anonymous you can do something like this

FILTER(Sheet1,Sheet1[Intake_Data_Grade] IN {"E2","code", "Code", "Code", "Code"})

Got it! Thank you so much! I owe you one!

Cold Weight =

DIVIDE(

CALCULATE(

COUNT(Sheet1[Company_Id]),

filter(

Sheet1,

Sheet1[Intake_Data_Cold_Weight] >=16 &&

Sheet1[Intake_Data_Cold_Weight] <=21

),FILTER(Sheet1,Sheet1[Intake_Data_Grade] in {"E2","E3","E3L","R2","R3","R3L","U2","U3","U3L"})

),

CALCULATE(

COUNT(Sheet1[Company_Id] ),

ALLSELECTED() )

)
