Measure logic for different hierarchy level

screenshot.JPG

 

Let's say I have a measure called [Qty]. It has a formula that differs from hierarchy level.

 

I could define [Qty] to measure the value correctly at product level.

 

But at the customer level, all I want is to sum up what has been calculated in the [Qty] at product level, how do I go about doing it?

There is a formula in DAX called HASONEVALUE(<columnName>). This will return true if the <columnName> mentioned in the formula returns one single value. I think you can use this in your measure as a boolean condition to determine which formula to use for calculating the result.

 

For example

 

Result = IF ( HASONEVALUE(Product),
  <product-level-formula>,
  <customer-level-formula>
)

This means, at the product level, HASONEVALUE(Product) will return TRUE as a result based on the current product and at the customer level, HASONEVALUE(Product) will return FALSE because there will be multiple products.

 

For example, consider the following table.

 

CustomerProductQty

AX10
AY20
AZ30
BX40
BY50
BZ60
CX70
CY80
CZ100

 

 

Result =
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( Tables[Product] ),
    SUMX ( Tables, Tables[Qty] / 2 ),
    SUMX ( Tables, Tables[Qty] )
)

This measure will give the following result.

If you notice in the image above, the Result column is calculating differently at Customer Level and Product Level.

At Customer-level it is adding up the Qty field. But at the product level, it is dividing the Qty field.

 

See if this function can be used in your case.

Dude you're a legend, thank you so much!

I am aware of the DAX, in fact, I used "ISINSCOPE" to determine if I have at top hierarchy or bottom hierarchy. My challenge lies on how I am able to calculate differently within the same measure.

 

e.g. Top Hierarchy (Customer) -  sum(  value at product level)

          Next Hierarchy (Product ) -   product measure

 

Right now, I have to create two measures, 

 

Measure 1 (Product) = <some calculation formula>

 

Measure 2 (Customer) - switch (TRUE, isinscope( Product), Measure_1,
                                                              sumx( calculatetable( summarize(Table, Product, "value", [Measure_1]), [value]) )

 

I just wonder if there's a better way of doing, so I don't need to create 2 measures.
