Issue Presenting Data
Hi mclougb6, from a high level modeling perspective, I'd do it this way:
Given the calculation context is one month and one hierarchy :
Compute the total sale for the hierarchy for the month, call this T
For each product in the hierarchy, compute the per-product sum of sales for that month ... call this P
Additionally, for products that have no sales in that month, assign them the value of 0 for P
Then rank these P values into ascending order - ie the worst-performing products are ranked first
Next, compute a running sum for each product, by adding up all the P values for the current product and all the other products that are ranked earlier ... call this R
Now we can compute the bottom-N% position of each product: N = R / T
All products that are in the bottom 5% of the montlhly hierarchy sale will have N values <= 0.05
Finally, you can count the number of these products per hierarchy per month.
Some DAX gurus in this forum can probably write out a single measure that's shorter than all this ;)
Hi Dax0110,
thanks for your reply. your high level model is exactly what I'm looking to do ... I just don't know how to translate this into a PowerBI measure to give the desired output.
Essentially All I have are by data tables and the relationships between them connected - but the formulae / DAX wording is brand new.
Hoping someone can write out the measure for me / step by step what I need to do to model the raw data appropriately.
thanks,
B

Hi mclougb6, just to clarify your requirements.... what final outcome do you want exactly? Just the count of products as you mentioned, or would you like to identify the products by name? Or do you want to show the per-product sum of sales as well?

Hi DAX0110 - it's the count of products within the hierarchy that have reached particular thresholds of sales (be able to split the number of products in the hierachy based on how well they're performing as a percentage of the overall hierarchy sales value for a given month) - for actual sales data for the individual SKUs I have the raw data, so it's not required in my Power BI dash

Do you want a separate count for products that have no sales record at all for the month? Or is it OK to include it in the count of bottom-5% products?
Finally, can you take a screenshot of the relationship view of your data model and post it?
