Stock usage over time

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to calculate stock usage per day to make ordering easier.

I have several tables:

1. Ingredients

2. Menu Items

3. Date Table

4. Recipes Table

5. Menu Item Sales Table

My goal is this manual Excel example below:

	08 08 2019	09 08 2019	10 08 2019	11 08 2019	12 08 2019	13 08 2019	14 08 2019	15 08 2019	16 08 2019	17 08 2019	18 08 2019
Soup Roasted Pumpkin
Soup Roasted Tomato
Ciabatta Rolls W80
ZOOP Brown Large Bag S0.20
ZOOP Brown Roll Bag S0.02
Serviette 2 Ply

Relationships are:

Ingredients (1-Many) Recipes

Menu Items (1-Many) Recipes

Menu Items (1-Many) Menu Items Sales

Date (1-Many) Menu Items Sales

Any advice?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Maybe you can try this:

1. Do not create relationships using 'Menu Table', and create 'Many-to-Many' relationship between 'Recipes Table' and 'Menu Item Sales Table' instead.

2. Create a measure.

Ingredient Sales =
SUMX (
    ItemSales,
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( ItemSales[Qty Sold] ),
        ALLEXCEPT (
            'Granular Recipes',
            'Granular Recipes'[Item Name],
            'Granular Recipes'[Ingredient]
        )
    )
        * CALCULATE (
            MAX ( 'Granular Recipes'[Quantity] ),
            ALLEXCEPT ( ItemSales, ItemSales[Date], ItemSales[Item Name] )
        )
)

@Icey ,

Thank you SO much - that worked perfectly.

If I should post this as a new query, let me know, but I'm trying to work out the average usage of specific ingredients (broken down using a slicer) per weekday. When I try an AVERAGEX function it returns the average for the sum of all the Sundays, for example, meaning it shows the usage for the Sundays for the whole month instead of an average Sunday.

Any clues?

Tom

Hi @Anonymous ,

Can you give me some samples of each tables? So that I can create a complete data model.
