– Fail ratio as a ratio between the previous twoįailure:=DIVIDE(,)Īs this was pretty easy I wanted to add the option of the user to define the # of buckets at run time The problem is that the bins from and to columns are calculated columns that need to be refreshed in order to produce new values. – Sessions in error from the errors tableįailedSession:=DISTINCTCOUNT(Errors) – Total sessions from the sessions’ table The actual histogram was created by adding the disconnected table ‘Buckets’ for the bins and creating the following measures: We had a table with the Users, a table with Sessions and a table with Errors for Sessions. “We want to see a histogram of the sessions showing how many users have experienced no errors in all the sessions they initiated, how many experienced errors in 10% of the sessions, 20% of the sessions … all the way to these poor users who saw nothing but errors in 100% of the sessions (Told you it is in early stage…) Solution The managers responsible for the service posed the following request: The model contains data about a service that is in its infancy and so the users experience a relatively high number of errors. My take on the problem was to let the user choose in run time what is the interval between each bin as a percentage and to show the number of bins accordingly.

There is even a solution that calculates the number of bins in a histogram with a formula that is based on the total number of cases. The method I use is no different from what others have already blogged and wrote about. He uses a filter dropdown, which even works with Excel Online – inside a browser! Here is the end result, read on to learn how and download file.Ĭreating a histogram in Excel based on Power Pivot is not as easy as it should be. Dany shows us how, while making histograms easier to use. But with Excel and Power Pivot, there is always more than one way to accomplish a task. Disconnected Slicers are a popular way to do this. Intro by Avi: I have often been asked, about ways to provide an “input” to the Power Pivot model from Excel.
