I am not getting the correct calculation out of DAX.
Right number should be 107,568
Dc Count = DISTINCTCOUNT(Query1[Dc_nbr])
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Debsidrian the issue is that 2988 is shown based on the top 5 dc_nbr based on the sum of damage cases whereas when you are multiplying the measure there is no TOP 5 and that's why you are getting a different number.
Either you need to create a seperate measure as below for TOP 5 and then use that in the multiplication and then it will work:
Damage Cases average per Dc_nbr test =
CALCULATE (
AVERAGEX (
KEEPFILTERS ( VALUES ( 'Query1'[Dc_nbr] ) ),
CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Query1'[Damage Cases] ) )
),
TOPN (
5,
ALLSELECTED ( Query1[Dc_nbr] ),
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Query1[Damage Cases] ) ),
DESC
)
)
