Hi, I was having a problem on calculating a measure, where I want to know the utilisation percentage of a truck by customer. Here is the table example:
Customer Name | Item Weight | Vehicle | Vehicle Type | Vehicle Space |
A | 500 | ABC | SINGLE TIRE | 2000 |
A | 600 | ABC | SINGLE TIRE | 2000 |
A | 700 | ABC | SINGLE TIRE | 2000 |
A | 1000 | CDE | DOUBLE TIRE | 4000 |
A | 2000 | CDE | DOUBLE TIRE | 4000 |
B | 300 | FGH | SINGLE TIRE | 2000 |
B | 400 | FGH | SINGLE TIRE | 2000 |
B | 500 | FGH | SINGLE TIRE | 2000 |
B | 750 | IJK | DOUBLE TIRE | 4000 |
B | 600 | IJK | DOUBLE TIRE | 4000 |
VEHICLE | WEIGHT | VEHICLE SPACE | TRUCK UTILISATION |
ABC | 1800 | 2000 | 90% |
CDE | 3000 | 4000 | 75% |
FGH | 1200 | 2000 | 60% |
IJK | 1350 | 4000 | 34% |
CUSTOMER NAME | AVG TRUCK UTL |
A | 83% |
B | 47% |
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @juanconsuela123 ,
I suggest you to try code as below to create measures.
TRUCK UTILISATION =
VAR _ITEM =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Item Weight] ) )
VAR _SPACE =
CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Vehicle Space] ) )
RETURN
DIVIDE ( _ITEM, _SPACE )
AVG TRUCK UTL =
AVERAGEX (
SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[Customer Name], 'Table'[Vehicle] ),
[TRUCK UTILISATION]
)
Result is as below.

Hey @juanconsuela123 ,
without any hint about calculating the measure, it's hard to provide a DAX statement.
