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
