SUMX

Good Morning,

I'm struggling with a simple calculation in Power Bi. I have a large table of employers. There is a column for each month of the year and the sum of funding for each month, and then there is a total column, which totals all funding for each employer. I would like to get the total sum for 3 specific employers, who I shall call, Employer A, Employer B and Employer C. Could someone help with the measure I need to achieve this? Thanks

  • DenbyG , Create a measure like 

     

    Calculate(sum(Fact[Value]), filter(Fact, Fact[Employer] in {"Employer 1","Employer 2","Employer 3"}))

     

    or with joined dim 

    Calculate(sum(Fact[Value]), filter(Dim, Dim[Employer] in {"Employer 1","Employer 2","Employer 3"}))



    Need the same value in when use employeer in group by 

     

    Calculate(sum(Fact[Value]),  Fact[Employer] in {"Employer 1","Employer 2","Employer 3"})

    in needed refer: Difference in filtering data in CALCULATE with and without FILTER

  • Hi DenbyG 

     

    Total Funding for A, B, C =
    CALCULATE(
        SUM(Employers[Total]),
        Employers[Employer] IN {"Employer A", "Employer B", "Employer C"}
    )

     

    SUM(Employers[Total]) adds up the values in the Total column.
    CALCULATE changes the filter context so it only includes rows where Employer is one of the three specified.
    The IN operator makes it easy to check multiple values.

    I hope this helps, please give kudos and mark as solved if it does!

  • Hi DenbyG ,

    try measure below:

    Total Funding Selected Employers = 
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('Employers'[Funding]),
        FILTER(
            'Employers',
            'Employers'[Employer Name] = "Employer A" ||
            'Employers'[Employer Name] = "Employer B" ||
            'Employers'[Employer Name] = "Employer C"
        )
    )

    Please give kudos or mark it as solution once confirmed.
