Filter data from other tables

Hi all,

I was wondering ig you could help me with the following issue:
I currently have 3 datasets:
a. Source

 

IDWeight
10011
10022
10033

 


b. abc

 

ID#Answer
10011Blue
10012Beans
10021Red
10022Peppers
10031Blue
10032Beans


c. DEF

IDTypeSEG
1001GenderMale
1002GenderMale
1003GenderFemale
1001CountryUSA
1002CountryCanada
1003CountryUsa

 


I can create a relationship between 'Source & def' and 'Source & abc'. (One a one to many relationship.)
I could have a relationship between 'Segment & abc' but it would be a many to many relationship and I am trying to avoid this type of relationship.

Here is the issue.
I am trying to run calculations, applying a filter from 'Segments' on the 'abc' dataframe, using a sum from the Source table.
Since, it doesnt have a relationship (cde and abc), it cant calculate correctly

How can i properly calculate this?

 

Thanks in advance for taking the time to look into this matter

Hi, @carlochecchia 

 

I am not sure how the below measure will influence your real case, but if your objective is to achieve the result that is shown in your picture, please try the below. 

 

measurefix =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Source[Weight] ),
CROSSFILTER ( Source[ID], Questions[ID], BOTH ),
CROSSFILTER ( Source[ID], Segment[ID], BOTH )
)

Thank you so much!

Could you also assist me on how to calculate the percentage of the column total?
Looking to achieve this result

Answer Female Male Total
blue 100% 33% 67%
Red -- 66% 33%
total 100% 100% 100%

Hi, 

Please try the below.

 

measure =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Source[Weight] ),
CROSSFILTER ( Source[ID], Questions[ID], BOTH ),
CROSSFILTER ( Source[ID], Segment[ID], BOTH )
)
 
percentage =
DIVIDE( [measure], CALCULATE([measure], ALLSELECTED( Questions)))

Thank you once again!
I have one last question, if possible.
Still taking in account the same scenario, but adding a 'Date' Column to the Source dataframe:

 

ID Weight Date
1001   1   01/01/21

1002   2   01/02/21

1003   3   01/03/21

 

Would it be possibe to calculate the accumulated weight by month, so it gives the following result:

 

--01/01/2021 01/02/2021 01/03/2021 total
blue 1             1                 4                    4
red   -             2                 2                    2
total 1             3                6                      6

Hi, @carlochecchia 

Please try the below.

 

Cumulate Weight =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Source[Weight] ),
CROSSFILTER ( Questions[ID], Source[ID], BOTH ),
CROSSFILTER ( Segment[ID], Source[ID], BOTH ),
FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Source ), Source[Date] <= MAX ( Source[Date] ) )
)
