Roll up Abs difference at group level

[Fuhrer786]

Hello All,

I am calculating abs differnce between actual and fcst at SKU level which rollups upto different product groups. I want to  roll up abs diff  of all items  correctly at product group level  but right now it sums up and then does abs diff.I saw couple of links but in my case data is coming from 3 tables not one.

Sample Data

                        Total Sales   Fcst    Expected(Abs diff)   My output

Product Group       300        270               90                   30

Item1                     100         50                 50                   50

Item2                     200         240               40                   40

Data is coming from 3 tables- Product info from DimProduct, Sales from Salestable and Forecast from FinalPredictions  table all joined by ItemNumber which is common join between tables

My measure:

ABS(Sum(SalesTable[Totalsales])-sum(FinalPredictions[Predictedsales]))

Any help appreciated! Thanks

Hello @Fuhrer786 

Give this a try.  It will generate a virtual table of all the [Product Group] in your DimProduct table then, for each row in the virtual table it will do the ABS calc and finally it will add up all those values.

Measure =
SUMX (
    VALUES ( DimProduct[Product Group] ),
    ABS ( CALCULATE ( SUM ( SalesTable[Totalsales] ) ) - CALCULATE ( SUM ( FinalPredictions[Predictedsales] ) ) )
)

Hello @jdbuchanan71 

It worked perfect now. I created 2 separate measures for actualsales and forecast value

TotalSales=sum(Salestable[TotalSales])

TotalForecast=sum(Finalpredictions[PredictedSales])

Measure =
SUMX (
    VALUES ( DimProduct[Item Number] ),
    ABS (TotalSales - TotalForecast )
)

 Formula still same, I must be doing something wrong but creating extra measures worked for me! Thank u so much

Hello @Fuhrer786 

No, you are not doing anything wrong.  I forgot to force the context transition in the iterator.  It should have been.

Measure =
SUMX (
    VALUES ( DimProduct[Product Group] ),
    ABS ( CALCULATE ( SUM ( SalesTable[Totalsales] ) ) - CALCULATE ( SUM ( FinalPredictions[Predictedsales] ) ) )
)

But two measures is the way to do it because they force the context transition and can be used in other places.

Hello @jdbuchanan71 

Thanks for efforts. I tried but didn't work. Also, I have to do at item level and roll it up to product groups. I tried with below one after changing product group to item number in sumx

Measure =
SUMX (
    VALUES ( DimProduct[Item Number] ),
    ABS ( SUM ( SalesTable[Totalsales] ) - SUM ( FinalPredictions[Predictedsales] ) )
)
