Line chart using weighted survey data
Really new to Power BI -- apologies if this is a stupid question.
I have data as below.
| sampling weight | category | year |
0.8 | a | 1 |
| 1 | b | 2 |
| 1.2 | a | 3 |
| 0.7 | b | 1 |
| 1 | a | 2 |
| 1.3 | b | 3 |
| 0.9 | a | 1 |
| 1 | b | 2 |
| 1.9 | a | 3 |
I want to create a line chart showing the percent (accounting for the sampling weights) in each category over time. I have been able to get the output I want as a matrix by putting year as column, category as row, and sampling weight as values. But I can't figure out how to turn this into a line chart.
I have tried creating the following measures:
weightsum=sum('table'[sampling weight])
catsum=calculate([weightsum]), allexcept('table', 'table'[category])
pccat=divide([weightsum], [catsum], 0)and using year for axis, category for legend, and catsum for values. But this gives me lines with each point being a percentage of the grand total and not for each year. I'm guessing I need to put the year into one or more of the measures I calculated (weightsum, catsum, pccat) but I'm not sure how.
Hi Anonymous ,
You may try to modify your catsum measure if you want to calculate a percentage of each year.
catsum = calculate([weightsum],ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[year]))You can check more details from here.
