Combine data from multiple columns

Hello! 

I have a table that shows different products and the material value that is bought in different currencies. The value is displayed in one column with the currency in another column. Each product can be bought in max three different currencies. 

I have a table with data like this:

Product ID Name Material value 1Currency 1Material value 2Currency 2Material value 3Currency 3
123House 1235USD345EURNULLNULL
321Door340EUR2000YEN50USD
231Window230USD120SEK300EUR

 

I want in a visual, to see the total value in each currency where you can see the currency with the total value beside. 

Eg.

USD 1515 

EUR 985 

etc. 

 

The data is imported with direct query 

 

Thank you!

     Hi, KristinG 

     

    Thanks for the ideas provided by DataZoe , I tried to make some changes to the formula

    Table2 =
SUMMARIZE (
    UNION (
        SELECTCOLUMNS (
            'Table',
            "Product", 'Table'[Product ID],
            "Name", 'Table'[Name],
            "Currency", 'Table'[Currency 1],
            "Value", 'Table'[Material value 1]
        ),
        SELECTCOLUMNS (
            'Table',
            "Product", 'Table'[Product ID],
            "Name", 'Table'[Name],
            "Currency", 'Table'[Currency 2],
            "Value", 'Table'[Material value 2]
        ),
        SELECTCOLUMNS (
            'Table',
            "Product", 'Table'[Product ID],
            "Name", 'Table'[Name],
            "Currency", 'Table'[Currency 3],
            "Value", 'Table'[Material value 3]
        )
    ),
    [Currency],
    [Value]
)

    Result:

    KristinG I think this will work for direct query, but you can create a DAX table to make a "Currency" table, then use this measure to utilize it.

    DAX Currency Table:

    Table Currency =
    DISTINCT(
    UNION(
    SELECTCOLUMNS(SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Currency 1]),"Currency",'Table'[Currency 1]),
    SELECTCOLUMNS(SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Currency 2]),"Currency",'Table'[Currency 2]),
    SELECTCOLUMNS(SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Currency 3]),"Currency",'Table'[Currency 3])
    )
    )
    Then use this measure:
    Value =
    var curr = SELECTEDVALUE('Table Currency'[Currency])
    var m1 = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Material value 1]),'Table'[Currency 1]=curr)
    var m2 = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Material value 2]),'Table'[Currency 2]=curr)
    var m3 = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Material value 3]),'Table'[Currency 3]=curr)
    var totalm = m1 + m2 + m3
    return
    totalm
     
    No relationship between the tables.
