  2. Ever tried to calculate how many full pallets you  can fill with boxes, and how many are left over? How to use Quotient and Mod in Power BI

  3. Case Scenario: • For instance, you have a business which is operates in the logistics industry: •  You have a total number of boxes  •  Each pallet holds a fixed number of boxes  • You want to calculate: • Number of full pallets  • Number of leftover boxes  • Example: 1,250 boxes,  • 48 boxes per pallet 

  4. Building It in Power BI: Step-by-step guide Step 1: Using the data provided (or your own dataset), select ‘enter data’ on Power BI and paste this into the table

  5. Building It in Power BI: Step-by-step guide 2.Create a calculated column or measure for FullPallets =     QUOTIENT([TotalBoxes],[BoxesPerPallet]) Copy and paste this DAX into Power BI The DAX expression should look like this:

  6. Building It in Power BI: Step-by-step guide 3.Create another calculated column or measure for  LeftoverBoxes =     MOD([TotalBoxes],[BoxesPerPallet]) Copy and paste this DAX into Power BI The DAX expression should look like this:

  7. Building It in Power BI: Step-by-step guide 4. Add visuals: KPI cards, matrix or bar charts

  8. Power BI Dashboard Example: Adding visuals to the dashboard can provide clearer insights for businesses.

  9. Why It Works? •  Operational Insight: Helps warehouse teams plan shipments, assigning delivery slots or rotating shifts •  Business Impact: Reduces overpacking, improves space utilisation •  These functions are fast, intuitive, and easy to explain to non-technical user • Other Use Cases: •  Packaging - Units per container • Time Tracking - Hours and minutes •  Budgeting - Full payments vs remainder
