Show correlation coefficient between two variables

[gn]

Hello,

I'd like to crease a measure which displays the correlation coefficient between two measures, the difficult part here is that I would like the two measures to be chosen dynamically (i.e. user chooses the first from the list of 20 variables, then chooses the second from the list of 20 variables, and the correlation coefficient is displayed). Is this possible to do in power BI itself or would I have to create a new table with the correlation coefficients already calculated?

Thanks, Greg

There is a quick measure for correlation coefficient.  Please refer to:

@gn easier would be have data in excel file and also share the expected output, you can share the file using one drive/google drive
