Need help with Measure please

Hello Guys,

 

I have following Table 

quality Report Measure.png

The Column I am having problems with is the marked AOPWD Column.

It is a calculated column : 

AOPWD = 'Spoilage AOP 2022'[AOP] / 'Spoilage AOP 2022'[WDMonth] * [workdays]
 
So as you can see, the values in AOPWD should be different than the AOP Column, because it should get divided by 20(WDMonth) and multiplied by 7(Workdays) = Measure .
 
I think that I need to convert the calculated column AOPWD into a Measure, but I can't seem to get it working.

Hi @KevBI ,

 

I think there is something wrong in your calculate logic.

The calculate logic of your measure is 60900 / (20 * 7) = 435.

Try this code.

AOPWDMeasure =
DIVIDE (
    SUM ( 'Spoilage AOP 2022'[AOP] ),
    SUM ( 'Spoilage AOP 2022'[WDMonth] )
) * ( [workdays] )

Result is as below.

@amitchandak 
So when looking at the first row, Value Stream CE-E, filtered on 01.02-09.02,

we have an AOP of 60900, WDMonth = 20 and workdays = 7.

So it should calculate 60900 / 20 * 7 = 21315
The Measure puts out 435 though.

@KevBI , Try like, if workday is measure

AOPWD = Divide(sum('Spoilage AOP 2022'[AOP]) ,sum( 'Spoilage AOP 2022'[WDMonth]) * [workdays]

 

or

AOPWD = Divide(sum('Spoilage AOP 2022'[AOP]) ,sum( 'Spoilage AOP 2022'[WDMonth]) * max([workdays])

 

If this does not help
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

Hi,

Modify your measure to

AOPWDMeasure = Divide(sum('Spoilage AOP 2022'[AOP]) ,sum( 'Spoilage AOP 2022'[WDMonth])) * ([workdays])

Hope this helps.

@KevBI , what is the expected number. as number seem fine to me

 

there should small diff in the calculation

AOPWDMeasure = Divide(sum('Spoilage AOP 2022'[AOP]) ,sumX('Spoilage AOP 2022', 'Spoilage AOP 2022'[WDMonth] * [workdays]))
