Hello,
I would like to calculate saldo subcategory as share in category.
Here is an example of data and what results I want to get.
Green column is what I expect as a result, Red column is what I get from dax formula
Treid something like this :
%ofSubCat =
DIVIDE(
CALCULATE(sum([Saldo]),
ALLEXCEPT(Ftable,[SubCat])),
CALCULATE(sum([Saldo]),ALLEXCEPT(dimCat,dimCat[Category])))
but this is showing me uncorrect data.
Solved! Go to Solution.
% of SubCat =
VAR SubcatCount = DISTINCTCOUNT(Categories[Subcategory])
RETURN
IF( NOT ISINSCOPE(Categories[Subcategory]) && ISINSCOPE(Categories[Category]),
DIVIDE( SUM('Fact'[Saldo]), SubcatCount )
)
Also, the formula can change if you use filters and/or slicers.
%ofSubCat =
var VisibleCategories = DISTINCT( T[Category] )
return
if(
and(
NOT ISINSCOPE( T[Subcategory] ),
ISINSCOPE( T[Category] )
),
SUMX(
VisibleCategories,
CALCULATE(
var SubcategoriesVisible =
DISTINCT( T[Subcategory] )
var SubcategoriesVisibleCount =
COUNTROWS( SubcategoriesVisible )
var SubcategoriesVisibleWithSaldoCount =
COUNTROWS(
FILTER(
SubcategoriesVisible,
[Total Saldo] = 1
)
)
var Result =
DIVIDE(
SubcategoriesVisibleWithSaldoCount,
SubcategoriesVisibleCount
)
return
Result,
ALLSELECTED( T[Subcategory] )
)
)
)
Hi @pnem,
Could you please tell me how you want to calculate the "%ofSub"? Do you only count the times "Saldo" is some value for the subcategory? This is why for Category 1:
%ofSub = number of times Saldo = 1 divided by number of subcategories in a Category 1 = 2/3,
or do you want to sum up "Saldo" and divide it by the number of subcategories in a specific category? In your example, the result is the same, but if you have other "Saldo" values than 1, you will get a different result and need to use a different formula.
Hello @OdetaJ I am having only value 1 for Saldo, and goal is to devide number of Saldo's with one with number of subcategories in each category.
Hope you understand the idea, thanks!
% of SubCat =
VAR SubcatCount = DISTINCTCOUNT(Categories[Subcategory])
RETURN
IF( NOT ISINSCOPE(Categories[Subcategory]) && ISINSCOPE(Categories[Category]),
DIVIDE( SUM('Fact'[Saldo]), SubcatCount )
)
Also, the formula can change if you use filters and/or slicers.
