Hi
I have two SQL queries from different databases.
Database A contains hourly price data
Database B contains daily price data
I need to create a chart showing the total hourly price by multiplying the hourly price with the daily price. So the daily price effectively needs to be repeated 24 times a day so that it can be multiplied to the hourly price.
I have a calendartable but I can't figure out how to join them but to be able to use hourly granularity in tables and charts.
thanks very much in advance
DATABASE A - hourly price
DATETIME VALUE
01/01/2017 00:00:00 45.45
01/01/2017 01:00:00 34.56
01/01/2017 02:00:00 43.34
DATABASE B - daily price
DATETIME VALUE
01/01/2017 00:00:00 15.67
02/01/2017 00:00:00 13.56
Hi @Anonymous
I think I follow what you need.
What I did was add a new column to the HourlyPrice table that only contained the date. I did this using the Add Date column in the query editor
This allowed me to create a relationship between the HourlyPrice and DailyPrice tables based on my new HourlyDate.Date column and the date column already in the Daily table
With this in place I added this calculated measure to the Daily table
Daily Price = CALCULATE(SUM(Daily[Value]))
Which I then used in a new calculated column on the Hourly table
Hour x Daily = CALCULATE('Daily'[Daily Price]) *'HourlyPrice'[Value]
This is the result based on your sample data.
Are we getting close?
Hi Phil
Thanks for the quick reply. I think it's almost there but it's not quite getting to where I wanted. Perhaps my example was too simple so wasn't quite covering what was needed
I've uploaded some data here over three tabs
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wusqsxeyt3tyeh2/powerBImixeddates.xlsx?dl=0
What I need to end up with an hourly data series to create a spark spread ( the theoretical profit of running a power plant in case you are interested!)
The formula is: HourlyPowerPrice - ((DailyGas[VALUE] + DailyCarbon[VALUE]*0.202)/0.55
I tried to apply your suggestions but am hitting a problem. I managed to relate the charts via the date as suggested.
The daily values are different for each day but what I am getting is then an average of the daily values over the whole time series rather than a distinct price for each day.
Does that make sense?
I am very grateful for any pointers
