I want to get a total revenue measure but am having issues. I have three tables Customers and Product and Date.
Relevent Fields for Customer:
| Company | Start Date | Product ID |
| A | 1/1/2020 | 10 |
| B | 1/1/2021 | 11 |
Product:
| Price | ID |
| 250 | 10 |
| 110 | 11 |
I have a DAX expression currently that finds the price and how many months of activity and gets me revenue based per company and per product, but not a total revenue.
I want to be able to get all revenue across all companies and products and then filter with my charts later.
Here is the expression I currently have.
Revenue =
VAR company = SELECTEDVALUE(Customers[Company])
VAR productID = SELECTEDVALUE(Customers[Product ID])
Var firstPayment = 1
Var startdate = SELECTEDVALUE(Customers[Start Date])
Var endDate = MAX(__Dates[Date])
VAR productPrice = CALCULATE(
VALUES(
'Product'[Price]
),
'Product'[ID] = productID
)
VAR dateDifference = DATEDIFF(SELECTEDVALUE(Customers[Subscription Date]),
endDate,
MONTH
)
VAR paymentMonths = IF(dateDifference >= 0, dateDifference+firstPayment, 0)
Return SUMX(Customers, paymentMonths*productPrice)
How can I get a regular SUM() to work with it. I know some people got CALCULATETABLE(SUMMERIZE()) to do this, but when I tried that I kept getting error messages.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Please try the measure below:
Revenue =
SUMX (
Customers,
VAR _startDate = Customers[Start Date]
VAR _endDate = MAX ( __Dates[Date] )
VAR _productPrice =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( 'Product'[Price] ),
'Product'[ID] = Customers[Product ID]
)
VAR _dateDifference =
DATEDIFF ( _startDate, _endDate, MONTH )
VAR _paymentMonths =
IF ( _dateDifference >= 0, _dateDifference + 1, 0 )
RETURN
_paymentMonths * _productPrice
)
Please try the measure below:
Revenue =
SUMX (
Customers,
VAR _startDate = Customers[Start Date]
VAR _endDate = MAX ( __Dates[Date] )
VAR _productPrice =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( 'Product'[Price] ),
'Product'[ID] = Customers[Product ID]
)
VAR _dateDifference =
DATEDIFF ( _startDate, _endDate, MONTH )
VAR _paymentMonths =
IF ( _dateDifference >= 0, _dateDifference + 1, 0 )
RETURN
_paymentMonths * _productPrice
)
It worked! Thank you so much @cengizhanarslan. This feels like magic! If you have a moment to explain why this worked I'd love that, but you've done so much so I get it if you don't.
I did have to add a line above _product price that was:
VAR productID = Customers[Product ID]
But after it worked beautifully!
I'm glad it worrked! Basically you need to give variables inside the SUMX iteration because otherwise it does now obey the row context within the visual.
