I try to build Report on Power Bi to show the comparison between Sales achieved per items and Targets per items but the sales in many UOM and the Target in one UOM

Answer

The usual approach is:

  • define a Item_UOM table which lists all possible UOMs for each Item, with a conversion factor to translate quantities in the “base” UOM. For instance for one item you may have “Pc.” as your base UOM (factor = 1), and then “Box” (say factor = 12) as an alternative UOM.
  • (Optimal): when you create a Sales record for 3 boxes you will store the UOM (“Box”), the quantity in boxes (3), and the quantity in pieces (3*12=36).
  • (Suboptimal) if you cannot do the conversion when inserting the Sales record, you will need to do it while creating the report.
