How to filter/slice values outside a +/-5% threshold without a calculated column?

Hi all,

 

I have a measure called Ratio that compares actual time to a recommended time for each machine. The interpretation is:

  • Ratio > 1 --> machine is slower than recommended
  • Ratio < 1 --> machine is faster than recommended

I've been asked to flag only values that fall outside a 5% tolerance band i.e.:

  • Upper outliers: Ratio > 1,05
  • Lower outliers: Ratio < 0,95

Requirements

  1. I have to try and avoid creating a calculated column
  2. A solution could be:
    1. One measure that returns only the upper values (> 1,05)
    2. One measure that returns only the lower values (< 0,95)
  3. It could be a slicer or maybe even a button or two where you can only see those outside the threshold. 

Thank you! 😄

 

Example of how the filter/slicer could look:

@cillejs , A calculated column can not use slicer value. You can create a measure. If required a line level measure using sumx or countx 

 

Sumx(Table, Table[QTy]* [Selected Efficiency Ratio] )

 

Sumx(Table, Table[QTy]* [Selected Efficiency Ratio] ) 

Where Selected Efficiency Ratio is measure created for selected value of Parameter 

of you can use MIn and max  Value 

Min Val = Minx(allelected(' Efficiency Ratio'), ' Efficiency Ratio'[Value]) 

 

 

Max Val = Maxx(allelected(' Efficiency Ratio'), ' Efficiency Ratio'[Value]) 

 

Again, these two can be used in a measure

@amitchandak thank you for your quick reply.

 

I am not sure I understand🙂

 

I want to be able to toggle between the threshold and ALL values-

I want a fixed +-5% value, not a dynamic range picker.

 

Thank you

@cillejs , Upper and lower bounds meausres

Lower = Minx(allelected(' Efficiency Ratio'), ' Efficiency Ratio'[Value])*.95

 

 

Upper = Maxx(allelected(' Efficiency Ratio'), ' Efficiency Ratio'[Value]) *.105

 

 

More than Upper = Sumx(Filter(Table, [Measure] >[Upper]), [Measure]) 

 

Less than Lower = Sumx(Filter(Table, [Measure] <[Lower] ), [Measure]) 

Assume you already have measure of column to check value with
