return rate

Hi,

sorry for that noob-question 🙂

 

I got an table includiing "timestamp" "revenue"

Negativ Revenues = returns

I like to create a chart including the historical Return-rate

Calculating the Return-rate per day like:

Return-rate=Sum(negativ revenue)/Sum(positiv revenue)

Could you please help me how to do that?

 

Thanks a lot.

      SUMX(FILTER('Table',[Revenue]<0),[Revenue]),
      SUMX(FILTER('Table',[Revenue]>0),[Revenue]),
      0
    )
  )
      

But, you will probably want something like:

@N00BPower try this, add following two measures

 

Total Sum = SUM ( Table[Amount] )

Return Rate = 
DIVIDE (
ABS ( CALCULATE ( [Total Sum], [Amount] < 0 ) ),
 ( CALCULATE ( [Total Sum], [Amount] > 0  )
)
