I am not sure how to go about this. The table is named Table, with two columns, Category and Rating. If my data was:
Category Rating
A 2
B 3
C 4
SimpleMedian = Calculate(Median(Table.Rating)) The SimpleMedian here is 3. Easy.
Instead I have for Data:
A 2
A 6
A 4
B 1
B 8
B 7
C 3
C 6
C 20
SimpleSum = Calculate(SUM(table.Rating)) which gives me the values below:
A 12
B 16
C 29
The median of that result is 16, but how do I create the measure(s) to get that result? Median likes columns, not measures...
Ultimately, for a function that requires a column, How do I get it to work with a calculated aggregate measure instead?
Thanx
Phil
Solved! Go to Solution.
create a calculated table
Table 2 = SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Category],"Rating",sum('Table'[Rating]))
Add the median measure
med = MEDIAN('Table 2'[Rating])
Or if you want to be cute you can do the calculated table as part of the measure
med = MEDIANX(SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Category],"Rating",sum('Table'[Rating])),[Rating])
create a calculated table
Table 2 = SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Category],"Rating",sum('Table'[Rating]))
Add the median measure
med = MEDIAN('Table 2'[Rating])
Or if you want to be cute you can do the calculated table as part of the measure
med = MEDIANX(SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Category],"Rating",sum('Table'[Rating])),[Rating])
A Calculated table doesn't work, because I need dynamic results. However, using it in a measure like that was the perfect answer. Thank you very much!
