New calculated colum.

[ROG]

Hi guys,

I want to create a new column to give me the information if the sales percentage is as per below.

- less then 10% 

- <= 50% (between 11 and 50%)

- > 50%

How can I do that? 

Thanks!

Hi @ROG ,

If you want to return the values you provided, you need first a formula to return the sales percentage.

I created an example for reference.

Sample data. 

I recommend creating measures.

1.Create a measure to return the sales percentage. The percentage is grouped by personID.

Sales percentage = DIVIDE(CALCULATE(SUM(Sale[Sales]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED(Sale),[PersonID]=MAX('Sale'[PersonID]))),CALCULATE(SUM(Sale[Sales]),ALL(Sale)))

2.Create a measure to return the three types.

Range = IF([Sales percentage]<0.1,"less then 10%",IF([Sales percentage]>=0.1&&[Sales percentage]<=0.5,"<= 50% (between 11 and 50%)",IF([Sales percentage]>0.5,"> 50%")))

Calculated is OK.

Sales percentage calculated column = DIVIDE(CALCULATE(SUM('Sale'[Sales]),FILTER('Sale',[PersonID]=EARLIER(Sale[PersonID]))),CALCULATE(SUM('Sale'[Sales]),ALL(Sale)))

Range calculated column = IF([Sales percentage calculated column]<0.1,"less then 10%",IF([Sales percentage calculated column]>=0.1&&[Sales percentage calculated column]<=0.5,"<= 50% (between 11 and 50%)",IF([Sales percentage calculated column]>0.5,"> 50%")))
