Profit and Margin

Part of the Power BI Basics section of Coddy's Power BI journey. Lesson 26 of 28.

Profit = revenue minus cost.

Profit = [Revenue] - SUM(Sales[Cost])

Margin % = profit divided by revenue: the share of each sale that is profit.

Margin % = DIVIDE([Profit], [Revenue])

Give it a % format. Never add margins up; the total divides total profit by total revenue.
