Hi,

Thanks for your response, please find the below example for your reference.
I have created 90th Percentile by using column "Actual visibility Weeks", where percentile is calculating from ascending order to descending order: Please correct me if i am work.

But I wanted to calculate 90th Percentile using ONLY descending to ascending order for the same column "Actual visibility Weeks", which ever month is Filer is used for visualization.

Hi @harirao ,

I'm not sure if I understand your requirement... Could you please check whether the below screenshot is your expected result?

1. Create a calculated column

Neg_Actually visibility Weeks = -'Sheet1'[Actually visibility Weeks]

2. Create a measure

Percentile = ABS( PERCENTILE.INC(Sheet1[Neg_Actually visibility Weeks],0.9) )

If the above information has any wrong, please correct it. Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Thanks for your response. 
Instead of creating Negative can we create a calculated colum, Larger Value to Smaller value for "Actualy Visibility weeks",  then use percentile calculation?

Hi @harirao ,

Please try to update the formula as below:

Percentile = PERCENTILE.INC(Sheet1[Actually visibility Weeks],0.1)

 

Best Regards
