Power Query Newbie - support with converting Excel formula to DAX
Hello! I'm a Power Query newbie, trying to create a Measure based on the following Excel formula:
=(AG8*AE8*AH8*AJ8+(AG8*AE8*AH8))*AI8+(AG8*AE8*AH8*AJ8+(AG8*AE8*AH8))
but am running into issues. Have tried the SUMX, CALCULATE and PRODUCT functions, all without success. Have also tried creating variables relating to each separate part of the formula, with no luck.
Please help - am going slowly insane! 🙃
Thanks so much
Hi Etta,
It seems that all calculations are done at the row level, do you want a calculated column like this?Column = VAR Part1 = 'Table'[AG_col_name] * 'Table'[AE_col_name] * 'Table'[AH_col_name] * 'Table'[AJ_col_name] VAR Part2 = 'Table'[AG_col_name] * 'Table'[AE_col_name] * 'Table'[AH_col_name] VAR Part3 = 'Table'[AI_col_name] RETURN (Part1 + Part2) * Part3 + Part1 + Part2Please replace the column names with the column names in the actual model.
If I'm misunderstanding your needs, consider posting some sample data (simulated) and the expected output.Best Regards,
