Power calculation

The best way to do this is with a 'scope to understand the duty-cycles of the various power stages and then attribute the current draw to each of these stages.

There's too many 'moving parts' in terms of varying currents to do this via a simple empirical formula.

Texas Instruments have a good white paper:

With an advertising interval of 25 ms, +4 dBm TX power and 10 B advertisement data, you should expect about 1.1 mA average current consumption.

PS: Nagging doesn't give you a quicker answer, and answering your own question easily causes it to be lost among the others already answered but unresolved ones.

Dear Nordic developer team,

Can you please suggest regarding power calculation.
