Need help with custom measure creation

[ash757]

Hi,

I have a function which calculates the Profit/Loss for the category in sales. But the problem is when most of the Orders are in payout pending bucket, Net Profit is obviously high.

What I want is to exclude Payout Pending rows when calculating the Net Profit by category but it also affects my bar graph which is cumbersome. 

Please help!

Thanks in advance.

Hi @ash757 ,

Based on the testing, try using the following DAX formula to calculate the profit exclude payout pending.

Net Profit = 
   CALCULATE(
       SUM(Snapdeal[Payable]) - SUM(Snapdeal[Cost]),
       FILTER(Snapdeal, Snapdeal[Bucket] <> "Payout Pending" && Snapdeal[Bucket] <> "Cancelled")
   )

The result is shown below.

Best Regards,

Wisdom Wu

This works exactly as I wanted, Thanks!
Also, Can you tell me What's the function of "&&" and how is it different from "&"?

Hi @ash757 

Simply based on the information provided,  I would create this measure:

CALCULATE ( [net profit], KEEPFILTERS ( 'table'[payout pending] = "no" ) )

Otherwise, please provicde a workable sample data (not an image), your expected result from that and the reasoning behind. https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/m-p/1447...
