  • @scharan3749

    Hello, thank you for your video! I have a similar problem. I have 3 tables: Prices[articlenum], [date], [price]; Articles[articlenum]; Quantity[product], [articlenum], [quantity]. The relation between the tables are also n:1:n. So the context is that products are built out of different articles with different quantities. And the prices of the articles are different during time. So i want to measure the costs of a product per month in the past for example. Now the problem for me is that I don't know how to multiply the costs through [price] and [quantity] by a measure. It is a similar problem like the one you are talking about in this video, but I think the problem in my case is that the value depends on two columns (either [articlenum] and [date] or [product] and [articlenum]) which are not present in both tables([product] only in table quantity and [date] only in table prices). Do I need an extra table? I tried to calculate it in a database of MC Access, there it is no problem and it gives me the costs per product per month. But I want it in Power BI... I am currently using a temporary solution in which I created a new table through a lot of merging queries. I basically put everything in one table. Like: tempTable[product], [articlenum], [date], [price], [quantity]. So here i am able to calculate the costs by just creating an extra column. Works fine, but the loading time of updating the data takes up to 10 min. I think its because of all the merging queries. Thats pretty annoying. Can you help me out with this problem? If you are willing to help, I'd be very thankful and I'd create a test database for you if you want. :)

      I think you're right - it should be the same as in this video. Trick is just to pick which table you want to start with, then the other measure will be simple. For example, if you take the Facttable = Prices, ManufacturingTime = Quantity, DimMaterial = Articles, and dimProcessCode = DimProduct (a new table you'll want to create) Here's the measure: Prep Time Many to Many = VAR _ProcessCode = VALUES(dimProcessCode[ProcessCode]) RETURN SUMX(Facttable, CALCULATE( SUMX( FILTER(ManufacturingTime , ManufacturingTime[ProcessCode] IN _ProcessCode ) , ManufacturingTime[PrepTime] ) ) ) You should also use a DimDate table if you don't have one already excelwithallison.blogspot.com/2020/04/dimdate-what-why-and-how.html Then just multiply by SUM(Price) or AVERAGE(Price) or MAX(Price) and use the DimProduct and DimDate in your visuals. Hope that helps?

      ​@@excelwithallison Thank you soo much, it is finally working! :-) I just couldn't find a solution for this problem... finally! I already had the dim tables that you mentioned. I just wanted to keep the context as simple as possible for my question. I was able to edit the majority of my other measures refering to this cost measure now.👍 But in two cases I still have some problems with editing this measure for other calculations. I do get how your measure is working but its kinda hard for me to edit it... 1. Problem: How do I calculate average, min, max costs per date and per product with this measure?😅 2. Problem: I have another table in which the articles are catogoriesed into groups. So its basically another dimtable for articles (or refering to your vid - a dimtable for the Filtertable). And articles then has an extra referring coloumn to the ne group dim table . How do I calculate the costs per group by also filtering date and product again?

    Allison, thank you so much for the video, I learned a lot! 😁 I'm new to Power BI and I'm dealing with many survey forms at once (whose questions have been changing over time ). It's challenging to create a data modeling in this scenario. Would you recommend me any books or some resource about that? Once more, thank you!

    • @excelwithallison
      @excelwithallison Рік тому

      Hi~ Glad you learned a lot from the video. I don't have any resources specific to survey forms that change; it is definitely a challenging data model to work with! It depends how you want to treat the change in questions - is it still valid to compare the data once the question has changed? If so you may want to research 'slowly changing dimensions' and see if that helps at all.

    I've done Forms surveys for years and have only consumed Power BI (as a viewer), not designer, and finding this video was a godsend, as I was able to produce most of the visualizations* for an important study AND publish the report to Power BI web workbook for interactive consumption. The one area I'd like to see covered (somewhere) is getting the AI-driven text analytics (from Power Query) working for long form text responses. I didn't have the Premium Per User Capacity licensing that's required, so the function throws an error. It would be nice to see that working. Anyway, I agree with other comments below re: this being super helpful.

    • @excelwithallison
      @excelwithallison Рік тому

      So glad you found it useful. Yes the premium licensing for the AI text analytics is a bit of a road block for many. I have written a blog post with screenshots of the process but I'll add it to my list of future post ideas and see if I can't do a decent video demo. In the meantime here's the link to the blog post: excelwithallison.blogspot.com/2021/06/text-analytics-in-power-bi.html

    This was super helpful :) At the 20 minute mark can you think of a way to put the apps into several columns and have the IDs in rows below (either as a list or cells with T/F for each ID)? I am trying to solve very similar problem. Thank you so much!

    • @excelwithallison
      @excelwithallison Рік тому

      This could be done using a matrix and a bit of DAX magic to get the T/F. Otherwise just put the ID in rows, the app in columns, and count the ID from the apps used table in values.

    How do we do benchmarking with previous survey data results?

    • @excelwithallison
      @excelwithallison 2 роки тому

      Hi Jessica~ As long as you haven't changed the questions from the previous survey results, you can do benchmarking or even trend analysis. In this case a Date Dimension table will be necessary to help filter the different survey collection periods. You may wish to add a column to your Date Dimension table that specifies which date ranges apply to each distribution of survey results, or just group by month, year, etc. Here's my post on how you can create a Date Dimension table: excelwithallison.blogspot.com/2020/04/dimdate-what-why-and-how.html

    Hi Allison. This was a very good presentation and I have learned a few tricks. Thanks. I have one question to ask for your advice. Why do we need to use the Excel data's web path to build the Power BI? Why cannot we use Excel data saved in the Sharepoint or One Drive directly?

    • @excelwithallison

      Hi! Sorry for the late reply. Using the web path ensures that Power BI can access the file from PowerBI.com. In that way, we can auto refresh the data using our Microsoft login credentials.

    • @excelwithallison
      @excelwithallison 3 роки тому

      Hi Carine~ We didn't really use the DimQuestions table in this particular survey example since we asked so many different types of questions. In some scenarios or datasets though it can be really helpful to help filter your data by Question. This would be helpful if you unpivot the raw data so that you have a column for 'Question' and a column for 'Answer' (similar to what we did in the video with the Likert Responses). It works really well with audits and inspections where each question is a different requirement and you want to be able to analyze them all together. Hope that helps? Allison
