Stratifying into 1/3rds Formula
I have around 50 companies and their revenue amounts. I want to create a column or a measure (not sure which would be best) to stratify the revenue amounts into 1/3rds by largest to smallest in revenue. I want the top third (in total revenue amount) to get a risk score of 15, the middle third would get a 10 and the bottom third would get a 5.

Sample data would be great. Please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490
Probably use RANKX to get a ranking and then you can segment that into thirds. Diffifult to be more specific.

Below is some sample data. So the file is two columns (Business and Revenue).
Business Revenue Cubs 344,748 White Sox 193,262 Red Sox 49,997 Padres 45,929 Yankees 155,912 Dodgers 82,667 Mets 79,192 Cardinals 77,123 Braves 74,897 Astros 80,239

One way is percentile - https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Calculating-the-percentile-for-a-set-of-data/td-p/250581
Second is the percent of running total,
Like
measure =
var _1 = divide(calculate(table[revenue],filter(all(table),table[revenue]<=table[revenue])),calculate(table[revenue],all(table)))
return
if(_1<=.33 ,15, if(_1< .66,10,5)) - v-xuding-msft

Hi Anonymous ,
I created a simple sample that you could try and check if it is what you want.
They are all measures.
Cumulated Revenue = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Revenue] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Business] <= MAX ( 'Table'[Business] ) ) )Cumulated Percentage = DIVIDE ( [Cumulated Revenue], CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Revenue] ), ALL ( 'Table' ) ) )ABC Class = SWITCH ( TRUE (), [Cumulated Percentage] <= 0.33,5, [Cumulated Percentage] <= 0.66,10, 15 )For more details, Please see the attchment. If I misunderstanding, you could reference the DAX patterns blog to have a try.

After I made the cumulated Revenue measure I got the following error message:
MdxScript(Model) (4,101) Calculation error in measure [Cumulated Revenue}: DAX comparison operations do not support comparing values of type Number with values of type Text.

Hi Anonymous ,

Based on the error message, it might be caused by the parentheses. You could use this to format it and check it. And can you please share your formula and the data type of columns? Then we can find the error out.
