Cpk calculation difference between power BI and matlab

[nehajadhav166]

Hello Experts,

In my dashboard I am calculating Cpk values for different charactertsic.

Formula I use is as below:

VAR sigma = STDEV.S(Process[MeasureValue])

VAR estimatedMean = AVERAGE(Process[MeasureValue])

VAR Cplower = (estimatedMean-MIN(Process[LimitLower]))/(3*sigma)

VAR Cpupper = (MAX(Process[LimitUpper])-estimatedMean)/(3*sigma)

RETURN MIN(Cplower,Cpupper)

When I calculate Cpk with same set of values in matlab, there is difference in values, eq matlab value is 37.77 and power bi 39.89.

Can you please guide me if I am doing something wrongly in power BI?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Neha

Hi @nehajadhav166 ,

You cannot put the defined variables into the min function.

It only supports column or expressions.

You can split the two variables, create separate measures for them to be calculated, and then use the min function to compare them.

@v-mengzhu-msft ,

Process[LimitLower]/Process[LimitUpper] both are columns in table.

Do I have to still change and create measure for this?

Thanks,

Hi @nehajadhav166 ,

If you want to give calculations for them, it is necessary to create MEASURES.
What I mean is that you can split the process of finding the value of these two into two MEASURES

One measure to calculate Cplower and the other to calculate Cpupper. And then create the third measure to compare the two value.

Please let me know if you have any further questions,thanks in advance~

@v-mengzhu-msft ,

My issue is resolved now. There was data discrepency while loading data using power query editor.

I am still using same formula with single mesaure and it works fine for me.

Thanks,
