A pattern is a general, reusable solution to a commonly occurring business problem.
For example, you can use the Ranking pattern if you have sales data in Power BI or Excel and want to know the ranking position of the products you have sold so far.
The most popular patterns are about time-related calculations.
Time patterns are useful to calculate year-to-date values in your Power BI reports, to compare amounts over different periods of time, to calculate a rolling average over 12 months in Excel worksheets, and more.
