Return a specific Break Even Date from Table

[mikecherry]

Hi guys,

I am trying to calculate break even in a chart and I want to return just the first value when my Column A > Column B.

if(if(Rangesum(above($(vRDERDist),0,rowno()))>Rangesum(above($(vRDERCost),0,rowno())),1,0)=1,Date(min(Data_PeriodEnd)),null())

 This is the expression I have in the chart at the moment that gives me every date if Column A > Column B.

How do I change the formula if I want to return the first data where Column A > Column B ?

May be something like this

If(

If(RangeSum(Above($(vRDERDist), 0, RowNo())) > RangeSum(Above($(vRDERCost), 0, RowNo())), 1, 0) = 1

and

Above(If(RangeSum(Above($(vRDERDist), 0, RowNo())) > RangeSum(Above($(vRDERCost), 0, RowNo())), 1, 0)) = 0

, Date(Min(Data_PeriodEnd)), Null())

This might not be the best way to do it, but without seeing a app to test with, this is the best I can think of.

Thanks for your help.

It works in the chart but what if I want to show that single Date in a chart like the one below with the companies.

Do I have to use aggregation around every rangesum ?

Asset Name	Date Break Even
Company 1
Company 2
Company 3
Company 4

If(

If(RangeSum(Above($(vRDERDist), 0, RowNo())) > RangeSum(Above($(vRDERCost), 0, RowNo())), 1, 0) = 1

and

Above(If(RangeSum(Above($(vRDERDist), 0, RowNo())) > RangeSum(Above($(vRDERCost), 0, RowNo())), 1, 0)) = 0

, Date(Min(Data_PeriodEnd)), Null())

 Thanks

Michele

It works in the chart, but it doesn't work in the chart? What do you mean? Why does it work and why does it not work?

[mikecherry]

If I copy the same expression into a chart showing Companies (like in my prior post) rather than dates it won't work anymore as I guess I have to use aggregation formulas around my expressions.

[sunny_talwar]

Try this

Aggr(
If(

If(RangeSum(Above($(vRDERDist), 0, RowNo())) > RangeSum(Above($(vRDERCost), 0, RowNo())), 1, 0) = 1

and

Above(If(RangeSum(Above($(vRDERDist), 0, RowNo())) > RangeSum(Above($(vRDERCost), 0, RowNo())), 1, 0)) = 0

, Date(Min(Data_PeriodEnd)), Null())

, Company, Data_PeriodEnd)

Looks like is working. I'll do a little bit of testing and let you know.

Thanks a lot

Sounds good 🙂

Quick question on the previous solution re: breakeven date calculation.

How can I apply a similar approach if my variable is a calculated?

Ex: If need formulas to derive the equivalents of "vRDERDist" and "vRDERCost", do I add the smaller formula into the longer string that you shared?

[erikbalunis]

I created variables and successfully inserted them into the break even formula.

Unfortunately, the formula is returning the dates when values "broke-even" and became negative, as opposed to the dates that they "broke even" in the process of turning from negative to positive.

How can I address that in the formula?
