 SSS,

(4.5*5 + 3.5*8 + 9.5*2) / (5+8+2) equals to 4.63 but not 3.86. Create a masure using DAX below and check if you get expected result.

Weighted average = CALCULATE(SUMX(Table,Table[Orders]*Table[Rotation Index Value]),ALLEXCEPT(Table,Table[Date],Table[Type]))/CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Orders]),ALLEXCEPT(Table,Table[Date],Table[Type]))




Regards,
Lydia

    Hi Lydia,

     

    Your solution seems a good one but I have an aggregated problem that I forgot to tell.

    The column "Orders" is not in my current table but in a table (let's called it Table2) that is related to the actual table of the problem by the "Date"  column.

     

    Is it possible to do your solution but using the column from the Table2?

     

    thanks!!!!

      SSS,

      You can create a Orders column in the current table to bring relevant values of Table2 using DAX, then apply the above DAX formula.

      If you have questions about how  to create the Orders column, please post sample data of your Table2.

      Regards,
      Lydia
