Calculating doubling times with DAX in Power BI
In this article I show methods to calculate the doubling time with DAX in Power BI. Doubling time is an indicator used for exponential growth scenarios. It indicates how much time it takes for a figure to double.
You might have come across it in studies covering the current COVID-19 epidemy like here for example. In there you see how many days it took for cases to double. But these figures are shown as snapshot of today and I think it’s also helpful to see their development over time. With a bit of DAX we’ll get there:
