Percentile calculation based on other column in the data

Hi All,

 

I am trying to calculate percentile value of one column, based on conditions of another column. Bleow is my sample data set; I need to calculate 95th percentile of the column difference, but for only those values where "Status" is not Cancelled or On hold! I am using below:

 

P95 = PERCENTILE.INC('Sheet1'[Difference], 0.95)
 
How do I modify this to acheive result I am looking for!

Hi @Anonymous 

Try this measure:

P95 = 
CALCULATE (
    PERCENTILE.INC ( 'Table'[Difference], 0.95 ),
    FILTER (
        'Table',
        'Table'[Status] <> "Cancelled"
            && 'Table'[Status] <> "On Hold"
    )
)

the Output will be as below:

Hi @Anonymous 

you can try this

P95 = IF(MIN(Sheet1[Status])<>"Cancelled"&&MIN(Sheet1[Status])<>"On Hold",PERCENTILE.INC('Sheet1'[Difference], 0.95),BLANK())

@VahidDM thank you for the help. However, I a question - why did you use "&" in filter? shouldnt it be "or(||)"?

 

P.S. I am very new to Power BI 🙂

Hi @Anonymous 

 

I used && as an AND to set a filter as you mentioned; you can use || as an OR if you want to change the filter.
