What to do when a PowerBI function does not work?
I have been able to manually calculate Z scores for my data, but now I'm looking to dynamically show the percentiles of the data set. A number of functions do not work while using data In Service (Live Data). Functions like Percentile.inc for example do not work with Live data. I am trying to show something like ( Percentiles are only example data).
Data Z Score mean SD Percentile
Location A 0 .22 0.23 50 %
Location B -1 .22 0.23 15.87 %
Location C 1 .22 0.23 84.13 %
Location D 2.5 .22 0.23 99.38 %
In my organization, I am trying to show that just becuase one location or event is ranked next to another, does not mean they are similiar. Z scores are really helping show the outliers, but I also need to for folks to see the context. Help? I know I will need to work through the Z score to address.
thoughts?
Hi @SO
What do you refer to with "Live Data"? How do you use those DAX functions?
The syntax of PERCENTILE.INC for example is PERCENTILE.INC(<column>, <k>). The first parameter is required to be a column. Do you want to use Z Score for the first parameter? Is your Z Score a column or a measure? And what is the percentile value you want to pass to the second paramter k?
Here is the doc for PERCENTILE.INC: https://dax.guide/percentile-inc/

Thanks. From https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/percentile-inc-function-dax?WT.mc_id=DP-MVP-4025372, they note:
This function is not supported for use in DirectQuery mode when used in calculated columns or row-level security (RLS) rules.
