Cuberankedmember getting wrong order - excel

I'm trying to create a top3 ranking from a data table varying metrics but each time I get the wrong order from the cuberankedmember, usually misplacing ranks 2 and 3.
The data I'm mostly focused on is regarding sales revenue. Power pivot sums all sales by store, quite straight forward.
From this I use a cubeset formula that captures store name, filtered by a month and year, which the user types in as any day for the month, and set the measure which to sort by (NTS) (code 1).
The cuberankedmember selects the cubeset and defines the position (code 2).
Then the cubevalue selects as members the cuberankedmember, filters once again month and year, then pulls in the measure (code 3).
E4 is the date
Code1 (cell C21):
=CUBESET("ThisWorkbookDataModel";
"NONEMPTY([Store_Dict].[Nome_DSR].children,
([Calendar].[Year].[All].["&YEAR($E$4)&"],
[Calendar].[Month Number].[All].["&MONTH($E$4)&"]))";
"Ranking";
2;
"[Measures].[NTS]")`
`Code2` (cell `D22`):
`=CUBERANKEDMEMBER("ThisWorkbookDataModel";$C$21;1;"a")
`C21` is the `CUBESET` formula
Code3:
CUBEVALUE("ThisWorkbookDataModel";
$D22;
"[Calendar].[Month Number].["&MONTH($E$4)&"]";
"[Calendar].[Year].["&YEAR($E$4)&"]";
"[Measures].[NTS]")
Actual Result:
Ranking Store NTS
1 a 606
2 c 425
3 b 428
Expected result:
Ranking Store NTS
1 a 606
2 b 428
3 c 425

What dynamic array formula can I use to calculate runway or burnrate in Excel?

I'm using dynamic array functions in Excel (SCAN, MAP, LET, BYCOL, etc); wihtout VBA or regular SUMIF formulas, to create a runway or burnrate-type table. So, I start with a $10,000 budget, month 1 $2,000 are spent, so $2,000 come out of the budget, month 2 $3,000, and so on until the cash available is 0 for the remaining months of the year. With a table showing how much cash was used from the budget per month, Desired outcome in the case below.
A
B
C
D
E
F
1
Budget
$10,000
2
Month
1
2
3
4
5
3
Expense
-$2,000
-$3,000
-$7,000
-$4,000
-$2,000
4
Desired outcome
-$2,000
-$3,000
-$5,000
$0
$0
Note that the Desired outcome amount is how much of the budget was used to cover the expenses.
Notice that Month 3 I spent $7,000, but from the budget, only $5,000 were left; so that's what I show.
Studied all the dynamic array (SPILL!) functions and lambda functions that I could find on the internet (this video by excelisfun is great) but I couldn't make it work. Some combination between SCAN or MAP would be the go-to solution I would think.
The solution should be one formula that leverage MS365 dynamic array functions.
I used REDUCE to get your result:
=LET(budget, -B1,
expenses, B3:F3,
DROP(REDUCE( 0, expenses,
LAMBDA( x, y,
HSTACK( x,
IF( SUM(x,y)>=budget,
y,
budget-SUM(x))))),
,1))
It creates a cumulative sum of expenses and checks if it's greater than or equal to the budget (since your expenses are negatives I converted budget to a negative).
If it is it, the value of expenses is shown, otherwise the remainder of the budget minus the cumulative sum of the expenses.

Excel Pivot Table: Different Subtotals for Different Value Fields

I have an excel pivot table with two summed field values. I need to subtotal the first one using sum and the second one using average. Here is the desired output:
Region
State
SumOfSales
SumOfUnitsSold
A
NY
100
5
A
NJ
200
3
A Subtotal
300
4
B
FL
250
4
B
GA
300
2
B Subtotal
550
3
So far the closest thing I've been able to find is a custom subtotal through the field settings for Region. But this adds two rows for subtotals. Any ideas?

How to do calculated values in Excel Pivot Table

I have a table like this:
Year Num Freq. Exam Grade Course
2014 102846 SM SM Astronomy 3
2015 102846 12,6 1,7 NC Astronomy 2
2017 102846 20 11,8 17 Astronomy 2
2015 102846 SM NC Defence Against the Dark Arts 4
2015 102846 11 4,5 NC Herbology 2
2015 102846 15 13,99 14 Herbology 2
I am trying to get the percentage of approved students (Grade >= 10) for each course by year and global average.
I've been trying for nearly 3 hours to do a calculated field but so far the only thing I could get was the sum of each student per year:
I have tried to do a calculated field with = Grade >= 10 hoping that it would give me a list of approved students but it gives me 1.
What am I doing wrong in here? It's my first time working with pivot tables.
I would really recommend to not mix string type (text) together with numbers. It's a horrifying idea and will cause a lot of headache when data will be used for calculations (both Freq. and Grade). Rather I would use 0 or some numeric value to represent the text.
Not recommended, but yes it's doable =)
You need some dummy variable to point out which row is number and which is text. So I created Grade Type. We can now count only the rows that have a number in the Grade column by using Grade Type = Number.
I create a table of the data and add the column Grade Type. I use this formula to get Grade Type:
=IF(ISNUMBER([#Grade]),"Number","Text")
I then create the following measures:
Nr of Approved Students
=COUNTX(FILTER(Table1, Table1[Grade Type]="Number"),
IF((VALUE(Table1[Grade])>=10),VALUE(Table1[Grade]),BLANK()))
First we filter which rows that should be evaluated (COUNTX(<table>,...)). If yes, then only count for rows that fulfill >=10, where VALUE() converts string number to numeric (COUNTX(...,<expression>)).
Nr of Student (w/ Grade Number)
=COUNTX(FILTER(Table1, Table1[Grade Type]="Number"), VALUE(Table1[Grade]))
Count all rows that have a number
Approved (% of Total)
=[Nr of Approved Students]/[Count of Grade]
Setup the PowerPivot Table
Create the PowerPivot and add the data to the data Model
Then create a new measure by clicking your pivot table and then "Measures" -> "New Measure..."
Fill in all the relevant data.
Result should be something like:

Compare values previous date and second previous date in PowerPivot

I'm new to PowerPivot and DAX. I've followed some on-line tutorials. Now I have a small problem that I can't solve. I have the following data:
Date Instrument Value
2016-07-27 A 100
2016-07-27 B 98
2016-07-26 A 102
2016-07-25 B 99
For each date I would like to calculate the difference (Profit/Loss) in Value between most recent date and second most recent date. For the data above it would be the following:
Date Instrument Value Profit/Loss
2016-07-27 A 102 2 ([Val. inst. A 2016-07-27]-[Val. inst. A 2016-07-26])
2016-07-27 B 98 -1 ([Val. inst. B 2016-07-27]-[Val. inst. B 2016-07-25])
2016-07-26 A 100
2016-07-25 B 99
I have tried with DAX to find the second largest date using =EARLIER([Date])but haven't managed to get it to work. With the second largest date I would maybe be able to find the Value corresponding to that date. Any suggestions how this could be solved?
In the end I came up with a solution in three steps (the steps can be combined into one step). First I rank all the dates, with the most recent being 1 and the second most recent being 2. After that I retrieve the Value for the second most recent day for each row. Finally I calculate the difference between the Values current row and the Value for the second most recent day compared to that row's date.
To rank the dates I used the following:
=RANKX(FILTER(ALL(table);EARLIER([Instrument])=[Instrument]);[Date];;FALSE())
Explanation to what I think the DAX formula is doing. RANKX works by taking a table and then rank the values in a column in that table. Above I've used a filtered table as the table. The filtered table creates a new table for each row containing only the same instrument as the instrument for that particular row. For the first row, the filtered table would look like below.
Date Instrument Value
2016-07-27 A 100
2016-07-26 A 102
The dates in that filtered table is then ranked.
Date Instrument Value Rank
2016-07-27 A 100 1
2016-07-26 A 102 2
Using the Rank I then pull out the second most recent dates Value for each row based on the current row's Rank-1.
Value second most recent date = CALCULATE(MAX([Value]);FILTER(table;EARLIER([Instrument])=[Instrument] && [Date Rank]= EARLIER([Date Rank]))
Finally I calculate the difference:
PnL = [Value] - [Value second most recent date]
I'm not sure what EARLIER is doing but I think it is some sort of iterative process.

How to calculate values dynamically from Excel table

I have a programming issue in Excel that I don't know how to solve it. I want to create an automatic Delivery Cost Program on Excel that will help me calculating the cost more easily.
The input variables are:
Quantity (Values for 1, 2-9,10-49,50+ and more)
Shipping method
Depending on the Quantity Value and Shipping method, Excel should lookup on the table and return the total shipping cost according the following Table:
------------------------------------------
Delivery | Per shipment fee
------------------------------------------
| 1 2-9 10-49 50+
------------------------------------------
Standard | 2,99 1,89 1,5 1,1
Expedited | 5,99 2 1,75 1,25
Priority | 10,99 3,39 2,25 1,35
------------------------------------------
Let me show you with some examples what I want to get:
1- Example:
- Quantity: 15
- Delivery: Expedited
- Total Cost = 15 * 1,75 = 26,25$
1,75$ is the returned value after looking on the table using the variable Quantity and Shipping Method.
I have tested doing =IF statements but sure that there is an easier way to do it.
I'm not very good on Excel programming so any help will be appreciated
Best regards and have a great day!
Assuming that your table has the delivery types in column A in rows 4 through 6 and that the quantities are in row 3 (columns B through E) the following formula should do it for you:
=INDEX(B4:E6,MATCH(B9,A4:A6,0),MATCH(C9,B3:E3,1)) * Quantity
Note, that the quantities in row 3 must be a number. So, the numbers should be 1, 2, 10, and 50 and not 1, 2-9, 10-59, 50+. There are two possibilities to achieve that:
Create a helper row and hide it (while only showing the row with the "names" as you wish for.
Change the number format on these cells: for the column containing the 2 the number format should then be "2-9" (custom number format). For the number 10 the number format would be "10-49" and the number format for the last column would be "50+". Like this you see what you wan to see while the cells still contain numbers only (for the upper formula to work correctly).
