I am a graduate intern at a big company and I'm having some trouble with creating a measure in PowerPivot.
I'm quite new with PowerPivot and I need some help. I am the first person to use PowerPivot in this office so I can't ask for help here.
I have a fact table that has basically all journal entries. See next table. All entries are done with a unique ID (serialnumber) for every product
ID DATE ACCOUNT# AMOUNT
110 2010-1-1 900 $1000
There is a dimension table with has all accounts allocated to a specific country and expense or revenue.
ACCOUNT# Expense Country
900 Revenue Germany
And another dimension table to split the dates.
The third dimension table contains product information, but also contains a column with a certain expense (Expense X).
ID Expense X ProductName Productcolour
110 $50 Flower Green
I made sure I made the correct relations between the tables of course. And slicing works in general.
To calculate the margin I need to deduct this expense x from the revenue. I already made a measure that shows total Revenue, that one was easy.
Now I need a measure to show the total for Expense X, related to productID. So I can slice in a pivot table on date and product name etc.
The problem is that I can't use RELATED function because the serial number is used multiple times in the fact table (journal entries can have the same serial number)
And if I use the SUM or CALCULATE function it won't slice properly.
So how can I calculate the total for expense X so it will slice properly?
Check the function RELATEDTABLE.
If you create a dummy dataset I can play around and send you a solution.

I am trying to sum every line in a table summarizing it by two fields in webi.
I have a table with the following columns:
Risk, Year, AssessedBy, Weight, Value.
I have filtered the table by Year = 2018 and Risk = "01". Thus, I only have the info for that year and that risk.
Each person assessing has a different weight in the final valuation by risk and year. What I have done is divide the assessing person's weight by the total sum of every Weight in the table [ sum(weight) in block ].
The problem is that when I delete the filter, the in block clause makes that the total sum of the weights changes to the total sum of the weights for every year in the table.
I would need something to calculate the total sum for each year and risk.
Just solved it! Just see Sumal Kunir answer: http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?p=971131
=sum([Var_a] for each(Dimension;dimension)) In (Demension)
where var_a is the measure, foreach defines a background to base in and in defines the level at which you want to aggregate.
I have been struggling on this problem on Tableau for a while and would really appreciate some help.
For a given company A that has product_id's 1,2,3....,N
How do I calculate their share of revenue for a given product id against other companies B,C,...., N with the same product id?
===========================================================================
My current idea has been to duplicate the data source and then do a simple table calculation:
SUM([Revenue])/SUM([Duplicate_Data].[Revenue])
I can then add this calculated measure to the sheet and filter to show the SUM of revenue for company A against all other companies in the duplicate data source. However, this does not aggregate by product id as I would like it to.
Thanks in advance.

I am making a basic hospital management system in Access 2013.I have two tables named "Bed" and "Receipt".
Bed(BedID,AssignedDate,PatientID,DischargeDate,BedCharges)
Reciept(ReceiptID,PatientID,BedCharges)
I want to calculate "BedCharges" by calculating the number of days using "AssignedDate" and "DischargeDate" and then multiplying with a constant amount of charges per day.
Also the BedCharges calculated in "Bed" Table also needs to be in the "Receipt" table.
How can I count the number of days and then calculate the "BedCharges" in both the tables?
I am encountering an issue in which I have sales which can be part of multiple promotions. I am trying to use a sales fact table which will have multiple rows for sales in multiple promotions. Thus, the cube can only accurately be used to aggregate sales within a promotion, not across promotions.
e.g., here are a couple of rows that could appear in the fact table:
saleid sku sales_date promotion_id revenue
1 123 1-1-2013 1 10
1 123 1-1-2013 2 10
This is one sale which gave the company revenue of $10, but it was part of two different promotions. I want to give users the ability to sum sales for promotion 1, and sales for promotion 2, but not for all promotions at the same time (which would indicate $20 of sales overall).
I think that this should be able to be done in SSAS, but I can't figure out how to do it. Ideally the cube would be defined so that the user can only use it in conjunction with the promotion dimension (and other dimensions as desired), but I'd settle for defining the facts so that they cannot be summed across promotions.

I have a problem and was wondering if anyone could help or if it is even possible to have an algorithm for something like this.
I need to create a predictive ordering wizard. So based on previous sales, we will determine that that a certain amount of an item is required. E.g 31 apples. Now i need to work out the number of cases that needs to be ordered. If the cases come in say 60, 30, 15, 10 apples, the order should be a case of 30 and a case of 10 apples.
The number of items that need to be ordered change in each row of the result set. The case sizes could also change for each item. So some items may have an option of 5 different cases and some items may land up with an option of only one case.
Other examples would be i need 39 cans of coke and the cases come in only 24 per case. Therefore needing 2 cases. I need 2 shots of baileys and the bottle of baileys come in 50cl or 70cl. Therefore i need the 50cl.
The results sets columns are ItemName, ItemSize, QuantityRequired, PackSize and PackSizeMultiple.
The ItemName is the item to be ordered. ItemSize is the size the item is used in eg. can of coke. QuantityRequired how man of the item, in this case cans of coke, need to be ordered. PackSize is the size of the case. PackSizeMultiple is the number to multiply the item with to work out how many of the items are in the case.
ps. this will be a query in SQL Server 2008
Sounds like you need a UOM (Unit of Measure) table and a function to calc co-pack measure count and and unit count measure qty. with UOM type based on time between orders. You would also need to create a cron cycle and freeze table managed by week/time interval in order to create a freeze view of the current qty sold each week and the number of units since last order. Based on the 2 previous orders to your prior order you would set the current prediction based on min time between the last 2 freeze cycles containing an order and the duration of days between them. based on the average time between orders and the unit qty in each order, you can create a unit decay ratio percentage based on days and store it in each slice forward. Based on a reference to this data you will be able to create a prediction that will allow you to trigger a notice to sales or a message to the client to reorder. In addition, if you engage response data from sales based on unit count feedback from the client, you can reference an actual and tune your decay rate against your prediction. You should also consider managing and rolling up these freezes by month, so that you can view historical trending and forecast revenue based on velocity of reorder and same period last year. Basically this is similar to sales forcasting and we are switching out your opportunity percentage of close with Predicted Remaining Qty. percentage remaining.
