Help with subtotal formula

Hi! i'm trying to replicate the file i'm uploading here https://we.tl/t-3aY9nitu88 in PBI

 

U can see in the file:

1. Raw Data

2. The table i would like to see in PBI

 

The mandatory thing is that i need to use subtotal formula and not just count() or sum().

 

Thanks!!!

Hey @Migsmix ,

 

let's say your table with the RAW DATA is called myTable. Then create 3 measures:

Subtotal (Count) = COUNTROWS(myTable)

 

Then for the SUM:

Subtotal (SUM) = SUM(myTable[Purchases])

 

And the frequency:

Frequency = [Subtotal (SUM)] / [Subtotal (Count)]

 

Create a matrix in Power BI, put the color to the columns all the 3 measures to the values:

Afterwards go to the format tab and under the "Values" section set the check box to "Show on rows":

This should give you the result you want:
