Excel to DAX: converting SUMIFS structured references ([column1],[@[column1])
Greetings!
I am trying to transition an excel workboook with several types of calculations to Power BI. In particular, I am struggling with how to replicate a conditional SUMIFS calculation that uses structured references. The excel expression is: =SUMIFS([Column1],[Column2],[@Column2],[Column3],[@[Column3]])
In DAX, how can I sum the values of column 1 given specific row values in columns 2 and 3?
I realize that the DAX framework is based on table/column/row refernece and not cell references (like excel), but I'm not making the intellectual leap here. Any help would be appreciated!

allexcept('Raw Course Success Data - AY','Raw Course Success Data - AY'[Department], 'Raw Course Success Data - AY'[Year Term])

Unimatrix8472 can you provide sample data and expected output?
Sure, here is a simplifed illustration.
Excel Expression:
Calculated Values =SUMIFS([Course Enrollment],[Department],[@Department],[Year Term],[@[Year Term]])
The expression calculates the enrollment sum across courses for a given department in a given year. I am trying to accomplish the same with DAX in Power BI.
Example: Department A in Fall 2021 saw a total enrollment of 550 students (200+300+50), whereas Department E in Spring 2020 saw a total enrollment of 151 (74+77).
Does this help?

Unimatrix8472 try this measure
sumifEquivalent=calculate(sum(tbl[courseEnrollment]), allexcept(tbl,tbl[Department]),tbl[YearTerm]))
