I have a fact table which has column with both positive and negative values. Once I process the cube I can see the count measure automatically added which gives me the count of rows. How can I write a condition on this measure so it will not count the rows with negative values. Please help thanks

I want to create a graph which shows the total capacity for each week relative to remaining availability across a series of specific dates. Just now when I attempt this in Power Bi it calculates this correctly for one of the values (remaining availability) but generates a value much higher than expected by manual calculation for the total capacity - instead showing the total for the entire column rather than for each specific date.
Why is Power Bi doing this and how can I solve it?
So far, I have tried generating the graph like this:
(https://i.stack.imgur.com/GV3vk.png)
and as you can see the capacity values are incredibly high they should be 25 days.
The total availability values are correct (ranging from 0 to 5.5 days).
When I create matrices to see the sum breakdown they are correct but it only appears to be that when combined together one of the values changes to the value for the whole column.
If anyone could help me with this issue that would be great! Thanks!
I have a range of approximately 1800 time increments (HH:MM:SS) in one column, sorted from low to high.
I am trying to come up with a formula that will produce the percentage of cells that are equal to or less than 10 minutes (10:00:00) of the approximately 1800 cells.
I'm not sure if I should be using AVERAGEIFS or another formula.
Thank you.
Some vagueness in the question. Is the time absolute and you want to compare among them or relative to a specified time. For the first case, you may very well use countif.
To get the cells less than equal to 10minutes:
countif(range,"<00:10:01")
Based on the comment, you can use this single formula:
=(COUNTIF(range,"<00:10:01")*100)/COUNTA(range)
The counta function gives you the number of non-blank cells in a range.
I'm fairly new to PowerBI, I want to calculate sum of averages as measure.
So average is perfectly fine but I couldn't manage to sum them.
average = AVERAGEX(SUMMARIZE(ProductionVolumeData,
ProductionVolumeData[ProductionOrderID],
MDCProductionVolumeData[MachineID],
"sum_volume",
SUM(ProductionVolumeData[Volume])),[sum_volume])
this formula calculates aggregates volume group by production order id and machine id and find mean.
I checked in table, it works for one ProductionOrderID but whenever I add another ProductionOrderID to table it also calculates average. What I want is to sum up averages.
How can I do that?
Thanks in advance
I am trying to calculate a rolling average by 30 days. However, in Tableau, I have to use window_avg(avg(varaible), - 30, 0). It means that it is actually calculating the average of daily average. It first calculate the average value per day, then average the values for past 30 days. I am wondering whether there is a function in Tableau that can calculate directly rolling average, like pandas.rolling?
In this specific case, you can use the following
window_sum(sum(variable), -30, 0) / window_sum(sum(1), -30, 0)
A few concepts about table calcs to keep in mind
Table calcs operate on aggregate query results.
This gives you flexibility - you can partition the table of query results in many ways, access multiple values in the result set, order the query results to impact your calculations, nest table calcs in different ways.
This approach can also give you efficiency if you can calculate what you need simply from the aggregate results that you've already fetched.
It also gives you complexity. You have to be aware of how each calculation specifies the addressing and partitioning of the query results. You also have to think about how double aggregation will impact your results.
In most cases, applying back to back aggregation functions requires some careful thought about what the results will mean. As you've noted, averages of averages may not mean what people think they mean. Others, may be quite reasonable, say averages of daily sales totals.
In some cases, double aggregation can be used without extra thought as the results are the same regardless. Sums of Sums, Mins of Mins, Max of Max yield the same result as calling Sum, min or max on the underlying data rows. These functions are called additive aggregation functions, and obey the associative rule you learned in grade school. Hence, the formula at the start of this answer.
You can also read about the Total() function.
I am trying to calculate number of customers which represent 80% of the profit so that I can use it in a calculated field which I can use in a reference line.
This is what I wrote
IIF(RUNNING_SUM([Profit])= (0.8*SUM([Profit])),
COUNTD([Customer Name]),0)
but it gives me error saying
"All fields must be constant or aggregate when using table calculation functions"
The logic is to "Count distinct number of customers which represent 80% of running total profits"
This is meant for a pareto chart, so the values are already sorted in descending order for it to work.
How do I create such calculated field which would give me number of top customers which will represent 80% of the profits?
Let me know if more clarifications are needed.
I think you are looking for a Pareto Chart. This might help:

I would leverage the power of Table Calculations, where you can first do running total of profit and then simply calculate percentage of total.

Hope this helps.
