@Daniel29195 

 

Thank your suggestion. 

 

Requirement: 

From sales dept i will receive only Plan and Actual values for category and division wise. 

1. I have to calculate Variance(Actual - Plan)  and Achievement (Actual/Plan) Values in seprate column, that is resolved.

2. I have calculate "Gross Profit Rate" value from "Gross Profit/Sales" and have to place after Gross Profit Row to pertcular Plan, Actual, Variance and Achievement Columns in percentage.

3. When we are selecting multiple division "Gross Profit Rate" value should not get sum, it should be take the current "Sales and Gross Profit" values for calucation.

Dear @Daniel29195 

 

Sorry for saying this,

As per the pbix i think you have taken the values from the table it self.

Where i want to calculate the values in Power BI. as from the sale person we are not going to get that values. 

 

@NadeemAhamed 

these are the columns im using. 

these are the only columns that my calculations are based on .

eventhough in the one i shared i didnt delete the other 2 columns  (variance - actual  and achievements ) but i didnt use them in my calculations,

so my calculations are base on only :  plan and actual. 

 

am i missing something ?

@Daniel29195 

 

Thank your valuable time to response.

 

Yes sir, its realy great you are using only two column such as Plan and Actual column.

But my query is from the sales dept i will get only this table data.

NadeemAhamed_0-1706600387876.png

 

In Power BI we have to calculate "Gross Profit Rate" for Plan and Actual columns by using "Gross Profit/Sales"

 

NadeemAhamed_1-1706600626425.png

 

We have to place Gross Profit Rate data values after the Gross Profit row in table vistualization.

@Daniel29195 

 

Thank you soo much for your solution,

But i found some calucation is wrong. 

Gross Profit Rate is getting wrong calculation in all columns (Plan,Actual, Variance & Achievement). Other Values are coming correct. 

 

NadeemAhamed_0-1706616112443.png

 

Could you kindly help me out to resolve this.

@NadeemAhamed 

the formula states : 

grossprofit /  sales 

thus :

9/36 =  25 %

44/10 =  440 %

35 / -26 =  -134%

 

unless the logic is something else

@Daniel29195 

 

For Plan and Actual column data is correct- Gross Profit Rate = Gross Profit/Sales.

Variance and Acheivement column for "Gross Profit Rate" values should be like other values in the column .

Variance = 440.0% - 25.00%=415%

Achievement = 440.0% / 25.00% = 17.6%

@Daniel29195 ,

 

what pbix file you have shared that is contain the old pbix data.

Is it that you have shared?

@Daniel29195 ,

 

Kindly let me know if any clearification and more details required.

 

Dear @Daniel29195 ,

 

I tried this below DAX for above requirement. but bad luck.

Could you please help me out to achieve this 

 

 

test_Variance data =

var p_sales =
CALCULATE(
    SUM('P&L Report'[Plan]),
    Category[Category] = "Sales",REMOVEFILTERS(Category[Order])
)

var p_grossprofit =  
CALCULATE(
    SUM('P&L Report'[Plan]),
    Category[Category] = "Gross Profit",REMOVEFILTERS(Category[Order])
)

var p_Grossprofitrate=
DIVIDE(
    p_grossprofit,
    p_sales,
    0
)


var a_sales=
CALCULATE(
    SUM('P&L Report'[Actual]),
    Category[Category] = "Sales",REMOVEFILTERS(Category[Order])
)
var a_grossprofit=
CALCULATE(
    SUM('P&L Report'[Actual]),
    Category[Category] = "Gross Profit",REMOVEFILTERS(Category[Order])
)

var a_Grossprofitrate =
    DIVIDE(
    a_grossprofit,
    a_sales,
    0
)

var gpr=
CALCULATE( a_grossprofit-p_grossprofit)


return
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    SELECTEDVALUE(Category[Category]) = "Gross Profit Rate (Gross Profit/Sales)" ,  format(gpr, "##.#%"),
    [variance]
)
