      Hi,

      Share some dummy data in an Excel file and on another tab, show the expected results with your formulas.  I will try to translate those Excel formulas in the DAX language.  Share only as much data as is required to get those 3 calculations.

    Hi femcoldt ,

    Can you please share a pbix or some dummy data that keep the raw data structure with expected results? It should help us clarify your scenario and test to coding formula.

    BTW, power bi did not exist row and column index, so you can't simply calculate across multiple fields or to accurately calculate on specific cells. You need to use different field as filter to limit the calculate ranges. (notice: recursion calculation not supported in Dax)
