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
