comparing sales averages with multiple filters

Hi all,

 

Looking to compare the sales of two products. I want to be able to compare the total and average unit sales for stores that sell Product A only, stores that sell Product B only, and stores that sell both Product A and B. I am stuck determining the best custom measure that can filter for both the store and the product. Any insight?

 

I also wanted to see the distinct count of stores that sell each product and successfully wrote a customer measure for stores that sell Product A only and Product B only, but the function did not work when I tried to filter for both in one measure:

"Count of A & B Stores = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Portal Data'[Store]),FILTER('Portal Data',[Description]="SAUERKRAUT A" && [Description]="SAUERKRAUT B"))

How did I go wrong here? The card read the measure as Blank.

 

Thanks for helping us become Power BI Wizards!

@thebrinery,

I make a test using the following sample data, and create the measures below.

Count of A&B stores = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Portal Data'[Store]),FILTER('Portal Data','Portal Data'[Description]="SAUERKRAUT A" || 'Portal Data'[Description]="SAUERKRAUT B"))

total sales = CALCULATE(SUM('Portal Data'[Sales]),FILTER('Portal Data','Portal Data'[Description]="SAUERKRAUT A" || 'Portal Data'[Description]="SAUERKRAUT B"))

average sales = [total sales]/[Count of A&B stores]

If the above DAX don’t help, please share sample data of your  table and post expected result here. Do mask sensitive data before you uploading sample data.
