Hi All,
I'm facing an issue in Matrix. May be I'm lacking in some tips and tricks.
I want to calculate last 90 days average COGS where purchase type is "Import"
My dax is =
Note: I'm unable to share pbix file as I'm woring in VM.

Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous try this:
My dax is =
(CALCULATE(SUM(Fact_Cost[COGS]),KEEPFILTERS(Dim_Article[PurchaseType]="Import"),DATESINPERIOD(Dim_Date[Date],MAX(Dim_Date[Date]),-91,DAY)) /(CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Fact_Sales[Date]),DATESINPERIOD(Dim_Date[Date],MAX(Dim_Date[Date]),-91,DAY))))
I recommend that you do some online training about CALCULATE and FILTER.

If I have a list of cat and value in ttable visual
A=10
B=22
C=33
And use TotalBcalculate = CALCULATE( SUM(facts[value]), facts[cat] = B”)
the it will return 22 for every row because CALCULATE “overrides” the visual natural grid context
Whereas
TotalBfilter =
// this gets a subset of just rows B
VAR mysubset = FILTER(table, facts[cat] = "B”)
// this sums just the subset
RETURN
CALCULATE(SUM(facts[value]), mysubset)
So your answer try this …
My dax is =
// get a subset (please note you can test and view this subset with create table !!)
VAR mysubset =
FILTER(Fact_Sales,
DATESINPERIOD(Dim_Date[Date], MAX(Dim_Date[Date]),-91,DAY))
RETURN
DIVIDE(
CALCULATE(SUM(Fact_Cost[COGS]), mysubset),
CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Fact_Sales[Date]), mysubset)
)
