Sum data with multi relationships
- 7 years ago
Whenever you see column names with xxx1, xxx2, xxx3 etc. the spider sense should start tingling. Having a set of non-active relationships to deal with these columns also sets alarms off.
The Company columns should be unpivoted in Power Query to provide a column holding the Company name (company1, company2...) and a column holding the Company ID (1001, 1002...)
A single relationship can then be created between ID in Organisation and Company ID in the revamped Deal table.
The challenge that remains is to prevent double-counting of the Value field when linking to a User.
One way to do this would be : create a measure for the average(Value) and then use that in another measure like
Norm Value = SUMX(DISTINCT(Deal[ID]), [Avg Value])
This works out the average deal value based on a unique identifier in the Deal table (so prevents double counting)
Iamnvt so it looks like I can use a CrossFilter measure to for this one measure, without potentially messing up the rest of the model.
Calculate(sum(value), bridgetable)
