One vs Rest

Hi Community,

 

I have employee feedback data. 

Dataset: EmpID, DeptID, Rating,..
There are 8 departments.
Ratings (1,2,......,10)

Scenario:  I want to create bar charts to compare the Average Rating of one department employees vs rest of the department employees. How to achieve this?

Example: 

In 1st bar chart,  average rating of D1 employees  vs average rating of D2,D3,D4,D5,D6,D7,D8 employees together.
In 2nd bar chart,  average rating of D2 employees vs average rating of D1,D3,D4,D5,D6,D7,D8 employees together.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi @pradeept ,

 

Please follow these steps:

 

1. Create a table for X-axis by entering data like this:
x-axis table.jpg

2. Just need one measure:

Expected output = 
var _curr=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Rating]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Department]))
var _rest=CALCULATE(AVERAGE('Table'[Rating]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Department]<>MAX('Table'[Department])))

return IF(MAX('X-axis'[Type])="Rest",_rest,IF(MAX('Table'[Department]) =MAX('X-axis'[Type]),_curr))

The final output is shown below:

Hi @pradeept ,

 

Please try this:

Expected output = 
 var _curr= CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Rating]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Department]=MAX('X-axis'[Type])))  
 var _notSele=CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Department]),ALL('Table'))-DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Department])
 var _rest=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Rating]),FILTER('Table',[Department] in ALLSELECTED('X-axis'[Type])))
return IF(MAX('X-axis'[Type])="Rest",DIVIDE(CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Rating]),ALL('Table'))-_rest,_notSele),IF(MAX('X-axis'[Type]) in ALLSELECTED('Table'[Department]),_curr))

@Anonymous  this is the solution I am looking for. Thank you so much for your time.👏👏


I tweaked the measure little bit, for the other filters interactivity and working fine. Now I have to create 8 charts and apply the department as visual level filter.

@amitchandak Thanks for quick response.

the solution you provided will work, if we are we showing all the departments in one chart. 

 

You can see the below expected output (in excel). Any thoughts to achieve this? 
In PowerBI,  I tried with  2 charts. I created 2 measures for each chart, in total  4 measures. If I go with this approach, I need to create 16 (8 X 2 ) measures in total. After doing this also,  I am not able to showcase the Labels on X-axis.

(Later, I am looking for the dynamic solution which we can reduce the number of measures in count, from 16 to 4-6)

@pradeept , Try two measures like these

 

Current  = average(Table[Rating])


Others = calculate(average(Table[Rating]) , filter(all(Table), table[DeptID] <> max(Table[DeptID])))
