I have data which when I can get into this form using a summarize;
VAR Product = SELECTEDVALUE(Products[GenericDescription])
VAR Module = SELECTEDVALUE(ModuleFaults[new_moduletype])
VAR FailType = SELECTEDVALUE(ModuleFaults[new_fault])
VAR FailuresGrouped = SUMMARIZE(
ALL('ModuleFaults'),
Incident[CompletedMonthYear],
Incident[ITMGEDSC],
ModuleFaults[new_moduletype],
ModuleFaults[new_fault],
"MonthlyFailures",
COUNTROWS(ModuleFaults)
)
I'm trying to create a measure which will show a sum of the MonthlyFailures column (per Widget, Module, Fault) for each MonthYear row for the previous 3 months. So the output should look like so...
I've tried doing a SUMX but I just keep getting the total number of rows back.
VAR FailCountByType = SUMX(
FILTER(FailuresGrouped,
Incident[CompletedMonthYear] >= FIRSTDATE(DATEADD('Incident'[CompletedMonthYear], -3, MONTH)) &&
Incident[CompletedMonthYear] <= EOMONTH(Incident[CompletedMonthYear], 0) &&
ModuleFaults[new_moduletype] = Module &&
ModuleFaults[new_fault] = FailType &&
Incident[ITMGEDSC] = Product
),
[MonthlyFailures]
)
Hi @sparkymark75 ,
One sample for your reference. Please check the following steps as below.
1. To create a calculated column in your summrized table.
rank = RANKX ( ALL ( 'Table1' ), Table1[Month Year],, ASC, DENSE )
2. To create a measure to get the excepted result we need.
Measure 2 =
VAR ran =
MAX ( Table1[rank] ) - 2
RETURN
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Table1[MonthFailures] ),
FILTER (
ALLSELECTED ( Table1 ),
Table1[rank] >= ran
&& Table1[rank] <= MAX ( Table1[rank] )
)
)
Pbix as attached.
Thanks for replying. I'm guessing I didn't word my question as clearly as I should have. The summary table is calculated inline in the measure as a variable, e.g.
VAR FailuresGrouped = SUMMARIZE(
FILTER(ALL('ModuleFaults'), ModuleFaults[CaseCompletedOn] <> BLANK()),
Incident[CompletedMonthYear],
Incident[ITMGEDSC],
ModuleFaults[new_moduletype],
ModuleFaults[new_fault],
"MonthlyFailures",
COUNTROWS(ModuleFaults)
)Is it possible to use the RANKX on a table in a variable and then the subsequent measure code you have?
