To whom it may concern,
I hope this email finds you well.
I have a favour to ask people, as I am trying to create the following measure, and it's driving me crazy :
Situation: My advertising team has an AD (placement) which has a flat cost of, for e.g. 200 dollars per the total time that the Ad has to run over a month. The ad can run 20 times over a month or just once. Our criteria to identify how many times the ad has ran is if the Publisher (eg. New York Times) delivers more than 500 impressions (i.e. amount of time the ad is shown) per day.
Task: What we'd like to do is to create the following measure: Divide 200 dollar (the Flat cost of the placement for that month) by the count of times that placement appears in our report for that month that matches our criteria (i.e. More than 500 impressions). When a new month starts, divide again the flat cost amount (200 dollars) by the time the placvement appears. Ideally then when looking at the grand total for 2 months I have 200+200 (400) and when breaking it down by day I see those 200 / count of the placement that has more than 500 impressions
Exception: Our reports show the same placement more than once in the same day due to the way the report is structured.
