DAX Question Sheet

1) In the DATA view, create the following calculated columns:

● In the AW_Customer_Lookup table, add a new column named


"Customer Priority" that equals "Priority" for customers who are
under 50 years old and have an annual income of greater than
$100,000, and "Standard" otherwise

Customer Priority = IF(AW_Customer_Lookup[Current Age] < 50 &&


AW_Customer_Lookup[AnnualIncome]>100000, "Priority", "Standard")

● In the AW_Product_Lookup table, add a new column named "Price


Point", based on the following criteria
○ If the product price is greater than $500, Price Point = "High"
○ If the product price is between $100 and $500, Price Point =
"Mid-Range"
○ If the product price is less than or equal to $100, Price Point =
"Low"

Price Point = IF(AW_Product_Lookup[ProductPrice]>500, "High",


IF(AW_Product_Lookup[ProductPrice]>100, "Mid-Range", "Low"))

● In the AW_Calendar_Lookup table, add a new column named "Short


Day" to extract and capitalize the first three letters from the Day
Name column

Short Day = upper(LEFT(AW_Calendar_Lookup[Day Name],3))


● In the AW_Product_Lookup table, add a column named "SKU
Category" to extract the first two characters from the ProductSKU
field

SKU Category = LEFT(AW_Product_Lookup[ProductSKU], 2)

● BONUS: Modify the SKU Category function to return any number of


characters up to the first dash (Hint: You may need to "search" long
and hard for that dash...)

SKU Category = LEFT(AW_Product_Lookup[ProductSKU],


search("-",AW_Product_Lookup[ProductSKU])-1)

2) In the REPORT view, create the following measures (Use a matrix visual
to match the "spot check" values provided)

● Create a measure named "Product Models" to calculate the number


of unique product model names

Product Models = DISTINCTCOUNT(AW_Product_Lookup[ModelName])

● Create a measure named "ALL Returns" to calculate the grand total


number of returns, regardless of the filter context

All Returns = CALCULATE([Total Returns], ALL(AW_Returns))

● Create a measure to calculate "% of All Returns"

% Of All_Returns = [Total Returns]/ [All Returns]


● Create a measure named "Bike Returns" to calculate total returns for
bikes specifically

Bike Returns = CALCULATE([Total Returns],


AW_Product_Categories_Lookup[CategoryName] = "Bikes")

● Create a measure named "Total Cost", by multiplying order quantities


by-product costs at the row-level

Total Cost = SUMX(AW_Sales, AW_Sales[OrderQuantity] *


RELATED(AW_Product_Lookup[ProductCost]))

● Once you've calculated Total Cost, create a new measure for "Total
Profit", defined as the total revenue minus the total cost

Total Profit = [Total Revenue] - [Total Cost]

● Create a measure to calculate Total Orders for the previous month


(named "Prev Month Orders")

Previous Month Orders = CALCULATE([Total Orders],


DATEADD(AW_Calendar_Lookup[Date], -1, MONTH))

● Create a measure named "Order Target", calculated as a 10% lift over


the previous month

Order Target = [Previous Month Orders] * 1.10

● Total Returns for the previous month (named "Prev Month Returns")

Prev Month Returns = CALCULATE([Total Returns],


DATEADD(AW_Calendar_Lookup[Date], -1, MONTH))
● 90-Day Rolling Profit (named "90-day Rolling Profit")

90-Day Rolling Profit = CALCULATE([Total Profit],


DATESINPERIOD(AW_Calendar_Lookup[Date],
MAX(AW_Calendar_Lookup[Date]),-90,day))
