Profit Margins

‎06-09-2022 02:24 PM

Hi, I'm looking for the best way to calculate the profit margin for our shopify data. Is it best best to calculate measures for the profits and the margin or calculated columns?

 

Any help would be much appreciated

Measure is the way as far as your need is concerned. Calculated columns should be avoided as much as possible. Measures are very much optimized by Power BI's Vertipaq engine.
