Measure Zero not equal to Zero

Hello,

 

I have total sales measure which is sum of sales for the selected period. Then I'm calculating another measure on top of it to identify products with non zero sales. Even when total sales is zero for productid 4 and 5 my Non Zero Product Sales is considering them. I need to only see productid 1 when June 2019 is selected. Why is the second measure true when 0 <> 0. Appreciate the help.

Total Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sheet1[sales]), FILTER(Sheet1, Sheet1[date] >= MIN('Calendar'[Date]) && Sheet1[date] <= MAX('Calendar'[Date])))
 
Non Zero Product Sales = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Sheet1[productid]), FILTER(Sheet1, [Total Sales] <> 0))
 
  • Hi,

    Try these measures

    Total Sales = SUM(Sheet1[sales])

    Non Zero Product Sales = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Sheet1[productid]), FILTER(VALUES(Sheet1[productid])),[Total Sales] <>0))

    Hope this helps.

    You have a basic logic/concept mistake.

    You need to sum the sales by ID.
    Something like 

     

    Column Non Zero Product Sales =
    VAR TOTAL_SALES_PER_PRODUCTID =
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( Sheet1[sales] ),
            FILTER (
                Sheet1,
                Sheet1[productid]
                    = EARLIER ( Sheet1[productid] )
            )
        )
    RETURN
        IF (
            TOTAL_SALES_PER_PRODUCTID = 0,
            0,
            TOTAL_SALES_PER_PRODUCTID
        )

    And then work according to the results in that column.

     

    It will give you 0 for ID 4,5.
    Then Count

    Non Zero Product Sales =
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( Sheet1[productid] ),
        FILTER (
            Sheet1,
            Sheet1[Column Non Zero Product Sales] <> 0
        )
    )

     


    Thanks!
