Calculation Group Measures
Calculation groups allow users to apply reusable groups of calculations to different measures. They work by defining a base calculation with a common formula and creating multiple calculation items that modify the base calculation with different parameters. Fenwick Gold for Power BI uses this feature to provide time intelligence for any of the available measures in the dataset.
An example of this is shown below. The columns of the matrix display the Selected Measure, which is selected by the filter on the left. The values of the matrix display the Revenue measure which is passed through to the selected measure as the parameter.
This functionality allows you to quickly apply different Selected Measures to the parameter value.
NOTE: There are three variations of the time intelligence calculation groups. These variations coincide with the three calendar types in the dataset. Please ensure that you use the Calc. Group - Time Intelligence with its corresponding calendar.
Calc. Group – Time Intelligence for Calendar (…)
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | The parent grouping of the calculation group |
| Sub Type | The child grouping of the calculation group |
| Selected Measure | The individual time intelligence measure selected for reporting |
| Calc. Group Hierarchy | A hierarchy of Type > Sub Type > Selected Measure |
