Top categories and subcategories using Calculate Function

we want to produce a dashboard that shows the category and subcategory of products that sold more than twice the average sales amount. 
The folloiwng code produces the table : 

BestCategories =
VAR Subcategories =
     ALL ( 'Product'[Category], 'Product'[Subcategory] )
     VAR AverageSales =
      AVERAGEX (
              Subcategories,
             SUMX ( RELATEDTABLE ( Sales ), Sales[Quantity] * Sales[Net Price] )
               )
VAR TopCategories =
           FILTER (
                 Subcategories,
                     VAR SalesOfCategory =
                     SUMX ( RELATEDTABLE ( Sales ), Sales[Quantity] * Sales[Net Price] )
RETURN
SalesOfCategory >= AverageSales * 2
)
RETURN
TopCategories
However, is it possible to write a shorter and more efficient code using CALCULATE and Filter context ?

I have attached the Model View of the data set and the Out Put of the Code for reference.

Hi @somnath6309 ,

 

You can use the following DAX code:

BestCategories =
CALCULATETABLE (
    SUMMARIZE (
        Sales,
        'Product'[Category],
        'Product'[Subcategory],
        "Total Sales", SUM ( Sales[Quantity] * Sales[Net Price] )
    ),
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Product'[Category], 'Product'[Subcategory] ),
        [Total Sales] >= 2 * AVERAGE ( Sales[Quantity] * Sales[Net Price] )
    )
)

Hope it helps.

 

Best Regards,

Stephen Tao
