For those much more familiar with Excel than PowerBI, I've used the following as an Excel equivalent for a simple way of conducting a weighted average calculation (similar to a simple SUMPRODUCT)
_SUMPRODUCT example =
VAR _DESIREDROWS =
FILTER (
[Table Name],
[Column of Data to filter on] > [filter metric]
)
RETURN
DIVIDE (
SUMX (
_DESIREDROWS,
[Value] * [Unit weighting]
),
SUMX (
_DESIREDROWS,
[Unit weighting]
)
)
The above portion allows one to filter the data to a certain criteria, and the lower allows to calculate a weighted average, say for a baseball team's batting average.
What would be the equivalent measure for INDEX MATCH?
for example, let's say one had a baseball team of players with a typical matrix of various statistical categories - batting average, home runs, etc.
In Excel, the programming would be =INDEX([entire table],MATCH( {player name},[column of player names],0),MATCH ( {statistical category}, [row of statistical categories],0))

AH - MAZING!
I started learning PowerBI and DAX almost 3 years ago, and how I wished that guide was around when I was first learning - but so happy that I know about it now! I think it will help me go much further.
Thanks
