Calculate ratio between E and B in the same column

Hello,

 

I would like to calculate the ratio between E and B in the same column.

 

DateTypeCount_Of_Type

9/20/2021 0:00D24
9/20/2021 0:00E1775

9/24/2021 0:00D6
9/24/2021 0:00E1735
9/24/2021 0:00S981

 

So for each day, a ratio is desired. 

Can someone help me out with this?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello there @WLFRD !

 

ratio =
var _e = CALCULATE(COUNT(Table[Type]), FILTER(Table, Table[Type] = "E"))
var _b = CALCULATE(COUNT(Table[Type]), FILTER(Table, Table[Type] = "B"))

return
DIVIDE( _e, _b)

Hope this answer solves your problem!

Thanks for your reply! This is the return (after skipping out the S and D):

 

DateTypeCount_Of_typeratio
9/20/2021 0:00B350.675583141
9/20/2021 0:00E177534.26171645

9/24/2021 0:00E173533.48962144

 

I was expecting:

 

DateTypeCount_Of_TypeRatio
9/20/2021 0:00B35 
9/20/2021 0:00E17750.0197
9/21/2021 0:00B45 
9/21/2021 0:00E22460.0200
9/22/2021 0:00B55 
9/22/2021 0:00E20200.0272
9/23/2021 0:00B47 
9/23/2021 0:00E19270.0244
9/24/2021 0:00B28 
9/24/2021 0:00E17350.0161

 

35/1775 = 0.0197

 

So I don't know what goes wrong. 

 

Best regards.

@WLFRD , I think that what you want is this then:

ratio =
var _e = CALCULATE(COUNT(Table[Type]), FILTER(Table, Table[Type] = "E"))
var _b = CALCULATE(COUNT(Table[Type]), FILTER(Table, Table[Type] = "B"))
var _selected = SELECTEDVALUE(Table[Type])

return
IF( _selected = "E",
DIVIDE( _b, _e))

Hope this answer solves your problem!

@goncalogeraldes 

For some reason the added 'selected' statement IF( _selected = "E") is not recognized bij Power BI. 

 

Would there another solution to calculate the ratio between B and E per day?

 

Thanks in advance.

@WLFRD what is the error message you receive? 

@goncalogeraldes 

I would like to have the ratio per day. Now it seems it calculates the ratio for the entire column.

Hi @WLFRD 

 

You want a measure or a column to get the ratio? If you want a measure, you need to put date column and ratio measure into the same visual. Then the date column will provide a date filter to the ratio measure.  

 

Or you could try this measure:

Ratio = 
var _b = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Count_Of_Type]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Date]),'Table'[Type]="B")
var _e = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Count_Of_Type]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Date]),'Table'[Type]="E")
var _selected = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Type])
return
IF( _selected = "E",DIVIDE( _b, _e))

Thanks for your reply! This seems a way to calculate the ratio. I just have a small adition to this. Suppose we don't have the count column and this is the data we have:

The B and E have to be counted per day and based on this count, the ratio has to be calculated.

How do you add this count to the DAX calculation?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

your help is much appreciated

Hi @WLFRD 

 

It is similar. Create two measures.

 
Count of Type = COUNT('Table'[Type])

 

Ratio =
var _b = CALCULATE([Count of Type],ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Date]),'Table'[Type]="B")
var _e = CALCULATE([Count of Type],ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Date]),'Table'[Type]="E")
var _selected = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Type])
return
IF( _selected = "E",DIVIDE( _b, _e))
 
BR,
Jing

@v-jingzhang 

Thanks for your help! This worked for me but I do have a question.... suppose I don't have the Count_of_type colomn so I have to count per day the "B" and "E" Type, what will then be the calculation?
