Hello everybody!
I´m bogged, trying to solve a simple problem. I have a "Sales" table with info such as this:
| Order | SKU | Quantity |
| 1 | Banana | 10 |
| 1 | Apple | 5 |
| 2 | Banana | 10 |
| 2 | Apple | 1 |
| 3 | Banana | 10 |
| 3 | Apple | 5 |
| 4 | Banana | 10 |
| 5 | Apple | 2 |
I need to generate a grand total for Bananas, a grand total for Apples, and then divide Apples/Banannas.
In this example:
GT Bananas = 40
GT Apples = 13
Ratio = 13 / 40 = 32,5%
I use this method to compare the sales of a "weak" product (apples) vs the sales of a "strong" product (bananas) and to find new opportunities to cross-sell.
Any helping hand/brain?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Measure 1:
GT Apples = CALCULATE( SUM( 'Sales'[Quantity] ) , 'Sales'[SKU] = "Apples" )
Measure 2:
GT Bananas = CALCULATE( SUM( 'Sales'[Quantity] ) , 'Sales'[SKU] = "Bananas" )
Measure 3:
Apple % of Banana = [GT Apples] / [GT Bananas]
Or, you could combine into one measure like this:
Apple % of Banana =
VAR
GT_Apples = CALCULATE( SUM( 'Sales'[Quantity] ) , 'Sales'[SKU] = "Apples" )
GT_Bananas = CALCULATE( SUM( 'Sales'[Quantity] ) , 'Sales'[SKU] = "Bananas" )
RETURN
GT_Apples / GT_Bananas
Hi @jppasini
Create measures
total per sku = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Quantity]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[SKU]))
weak/strong =
VAR min_ =
MINX ( ALL ( 'Table'[SKU] ), [total per sku] )
VAR max_ =
MAXX ( ALL ( 'Table'[SKU] ), [total per sku] )
RETURN
SWITCH ( [total per sku], min_, "weak", max_, "strong" )
ratio =
CALCULATE (
[total per sku],
FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), [weak/strong] = "weak" )
)
/ CALCULATE (
[total per sku],
FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), [weak/strong] = "strong" )
)
Best Regards

hi @jppasini
try a measure
Measure = divide(calculate(sum('Table1'[Quantity]);ALL('Table1');'Table1'[SKU]="Banana");calculate(sum('Table1'[Quantity]);ALL('Table1');'Table1'[SKU]="Apple"))do not hesitate to give a kudo to useful posts and mark solutions as solution
