Prompt
TotalSales = SUM('Sales'[SalesAmount])
// Calculate the average sales price
AverageSalesPrice = DIVIDE([TotalSales], SUM('Sales'[Quantity]), 0)
// Calculate the previous year's average sales price
PreviousYearAvgSalesPrice = CALCULATE([AverageSalesPrice], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date]))
// Calculate the YoY difference
AverageSalesPriceYoYDiff = [AverageSalesPrice] - [PreviousYearAvgSalesPrice]
// To get the top 5 customers based on sales
Top5CustomersBaseOnSales =
TOPN(
5,
SUMMARIZE(Customers[CustomerName], "totalSales", [TotalSales]),
[totalSales],
DESC
)
// Calculate the average sales YoY difference for the top 5 customers.
AverageSalesPriceYoYDiffTop5 =
CALCULATE(
[AverageSalesPriceYoYDiff],
KEEPFILTERS(TREATAS([Top5CustomersBaseOnSales], Customers[CustomerName]))

Answer
Your provided code snippet is structured and organized, exhibiting six main computation measures: TotalSales
, AverageSalesPrice
, PreviousYearAvgSalesPrice
, AverageSalesPriceYoYDiff
, Top5CustomersBaseOnSales
, and AverageSalesPriceYoYDiffTop5
. This can be visually represented in a hierarchical fashion, starting from the generic measures to more specific ones.
Before proceeding with the DOT notation, please note the following:
- The DOT language is primarily used for graphical representation of hierarchical and non-hierarchical relationships between entities or data. It does not inherently support commercial tools-based codes like DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) which your provided code is written in.
- The DOT language ideally suits system dependencies, computer networks, flowcharts, and other use-cases where visual representation benefits the understanding.
Given these restrictions, we'll follow a broad interpretation of your code structure in DOT language within the capabilities of DOT.
digraph G {
"TotalSales" -> "AverageSalesPrice";
"AverageSalesPrice" -> "PreviousYearAvgSalesPrice";
"AverageSalesPrice" -> "AverageSalesPriceYoYDiff";
"PreviousYearAvgSalesPrice" -> "AverageSalesPriceYoYDiff";
"TotalSales" -> "Top5CustomersBaseOnSales";
"Top5CustomersBaseOnSales" -> "AverageSalesPriceYoYDiffTop5";
"AverageSalesPriceYoYDiff" -> "AverageSalesPriceYoYDiffTop5";
}
In this DOT graph, each node represents a computation measure and directed edges represent dependency for calculations. This graph follows a top-down approach; for instance, TotalSales
is calculated first and is a dependency in calculations of AverageSalesPrice
and Top5CustomersBaseOnSales
.
