Finding the median and top quartile of a category based on figures from another DAX measure

Context

I have a table containing a list of portfolios, their monthly returns and category.

Table 1

Portfolio DateMonthly ReturnCategory
A31-Jan-241.00%X
A29-Feb-240.50%X
B31-Jan-240.20%X
B29-Feb-240.30%X
C31-Jan-242.00%Y
C29-Feb-242.50%Y
D31-Jan-24-0.10%Y
D29-Feb-24-0.80%Y

 

Using the data Table 1, I dynamically calculate the annualised return of each portfolio according to the dates selected in my date slicer with the following DAX measure:

 

 

 

Return_Annualised = 
VAR DateSlicerStart = MIN('Table 1'[Date])
VAR DateSlicerEnd = MAX('Table 1'[Date])
VAR AnnualisationFactor = DIVIDE(DateSlicerEnd - EOMONTH(DateSlicerStart, -1), 365)

RETURN
    POWER(PRODUCTX('Table 1', 1 + 'Table 1'[Monthly Return]), 1/AnnualisationFactor)-1

 

 

 

This gives me the following result:

My Question

From this result, how can I get the:

1) Median annualised return for each category?

2) Top quartile annualised return (if there are 4 or more data points) for each category, if less than 4 data points, return blank?

 

Example of desired output:

Appreciate any assistance.

Solved using the following for median:

 

 

 

Median_Annualised_Return = 
CALCULATE(
    MEDIANX(
        SUMMARIZE(
            'Table 1',
            'Table 1'[Portfolio],
            'Table 1'[Category],
            "AnnualisedReturn", [Return_Annualised]
        ),
        [AnnualisedReturn]
    ),
    ALLEXCEPT('Table 1', 'Table 1'[Category])
)

 

 

 

 

For top quartile:

 

 

 

TopQuartile_Annualised_Return = 
VAR AnnualisedReturns = 
CALCULATETABLE(
    ADDCOLUMNS(
        SUMMARIZE(
            'Table 1',
            'Table 1'[Portfolio],
        ),
        "AnnualisedReturn",[Return_Annualised]
    ),
    ALLEXCEPT('Table 1', 'Table 1'[Category])
)
VAR ReturnCount = COUNTROWS(AnnualisedReturns)
VAR TopQuartileReturn =
IF(
    ReturnCount >=4,
    PERCENTILEX.EXC(AnnualisedReturns, [AnnualisedReturn], 0.75),
    BLANK()
)

RETURN TopQuartileReturn
