Measure with Variables and Filters

[raymond]

Hi,

I have simpliefied my example. I want to calculate the number of E-Mail Opens with a filter for "Welcome-Phase". Of course there are other phases as well such as "Follow Up". It works fine though BUT when I display it in a matrix or table with a the column "Phase", every row contains the same value. Whereas there should be only a value for "Welcome-Phase" and e.g. a 0 for "Follow Up". 

Does anyone have solution how to get to the correct value?

SCORE = 
VAR score =
    CALCULATE(
        [mailing-opens] ;
        [Phase] IN {"Welcome-Phase"} ;
        [Art] IN {"Initial"}
        )

RETURN
score

By putting the column [Phase] in a matrix/table, you are adding the filters implicitly in the visualization and don't need them in the measure.

So your code should be

SCORE = 
VAR score =
    CALCULATE(
        [mailing-opens] ;
        [Art] IN {"Initial"}
        )

RETURN
score

(if you are putting [Art] in the visual as well, you can remove the measure altogether as you would just use [mailing-opens] as the value

Hope this helps

@dedelman_clng Thank you.

However, what if the following is the case 🙂

SCORE = 

VAR scoreA =
    CALCULATE(
        [mailing-opens] ;
        [Phase] IN {"Welcome-Phase"} ;
        [Art] IN {"Initial"}
        )

VAR scoreB
    CALCULATE(
        [mailing-klicks] ;
        [Phase] IN {"Welcome-Phase"} ;
        [Art] IN {"Result"}
        )

RETURN
scoreA + scoreB

What I hope to see in a matrix table is the Result of scoreA + scoreB for the "Welcome-Phase" and in a drill down to "Art" the separate values for "Result" and "Initial"

Can you provide a sample of data and your expected results?

[raymond]

Sure. I have uploaded a sample to dropbox. click here

It is a quite simple case. There E-Mailings and Phases. I want to calculate a score for E-Mail A and E-Mail B. The scores are different. Hence on the level of the Initial Phase the value is correct. In the drill down the values are not. Furthermore under Results the same value is shown. This should be 0. 

For A and B and the score on the initial level the values should be as such:

Hi @raymond - 

In the very specific instance you provided, this code gets you what you want, but I doubt it is very scalable since there are still hard-coded values inside.

New Score = 
var __Email = SELECTEDVALUE(Mailings[Name])
var __Phase = SELECTEDVALUE(Mailings[Phase])
var __A =     CALCULATE(
        DIVIDE( [click-rate] , [click-rate TARGET 20%] , BLANK() ) ,
        Mailings[Phase] IN {"Initial"} ,
        Mailings[Name] IN {"E-Mail_A"})

var __B =     CALCULATE(
        DIVIDE( [click-rate] , [click-rate TARGET 75%] , BLANK() ) ,
        Mailings[Phase] IN {"Initial"} ,
        Mailings[Name] IN {"E-Mail_B"}
        )

return

IF(
   ISBLANK(__Email), //SELECTEDVALUE returns BLANK if more than one value comes back
   __A+__B, 
    SWITCH(
        TRUE(), 
        __Email = "E-Mail_A", __A,
        __Email = "E-Mail_B", __B
    ))

It's also worth noting that the sample report file you provided, and the 2nd set of detail do not really match the initial question. I realize that you were trying to obscure sensitive data, but if you look at your 2nd and 3rd posts, they're quite different.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help

Hi back, you are right, the data is different due to sensitive data. I had to solve the issue differently - in this case I was just using calculated columns and another table.
