I've come across another fuzzy scenario and I'm wondering if anyone may be able to help.
I have three tables
Invoices
Invoice Ref | Value |
---|---|
Inv1 | 10,000 |
Inv2 | 9,999 |
Invoice Categories
Invoice Ref | Category |
---|---|
Inv1 | 1 |
Inv2 | 2 |
Inv2 | 2 |
Categories
Category Ref | Description |
---|---|
1 | Stuff |
2 | Things |
They join to create a situation where an invoice can have multiple categories.
I have a PowerBI visual that displays like this
Invoice Ref | Count | Value | Category |
---|---|---|---|
Inv1 | 1 | 10,000 | Stuff |
Inv1 | 1 | 10,000 | Things |
Inv2 | 1 | 9,999 | Things |
However, I need it to be (counting the total rows of the reference and dividing equally between the two)
Invoice Ref | Count | Value | Category |
---|---|---|---|
Inv1 | 2 | 5,000 | Stuff |
Inv1 | 2 | 5,000 | Things |
Inv2 | 1 | 9,999 | Things |
Sorry for the table spam. I can't find a decent way to articulate it. Also, what is this operation called so I can do some reading?
This feels wrong or dirty - anyways try the following Measures:
Category count =
var meCount = COUNTROWS('Invoice Categories')
var allCount =
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS('Invoice Categories'),
ALLSELECTED('Categories')
)
return IF(NOT ISBLANK(meCount), allCount)
Invoice Category amount =
var s = SUM(Invoices[Value])
return
IF(
ISINSCOPE('Categories'[Description]),
DIVIDE(s, [Category count]),
s
)
