Helper VSimple calculation
Hi,
Please could you remind how best to acheive this...I have table data and would like a new column or measure that shows sum of score for each question based on year, so total for question 1 would be 5, and question 2 would be 6, question 3 would be 8.
Thanks!

Question | Year | Score |
| 1 | 2019 | 2 |
| 1 | 2018 | 3 |
| 2 | 2019 | 3 |
| 2 | 2018 | 3 |
| 3 | 2019 | 4 |
| 3 | 2018 | 4 |

If plot sum(Table[Score]) By question and year it should give you that
Or you want this year vs last year
This Year = calculate(Sum(Table[Score])filter(all(Table),Table[Year] =max(Table[Year]))) last Year = calculate(Sum(Table[Score])filter(all(Table),Table[Year] =max(Table[Year])-1))
adavid999Thanks for quick response amitchandak . I need the result of sum for both years to be used in another calculation. There are many questions, with many different potential filters to view the scores. I'm not sure if plot sum(Table[Score]) will get me there, but will try.

Just put Question in a table visualization along with Score and use default Sum aggregation for Score? - Greg_Deckler
adavid999 - If you need the sum in a different calculation it would help to know the calculation. But, in general you could do something like:
Measure =
VAR __Table = SUMMARIZE('Table',[Question],"__Score",SUM([Score]))
RETURN
<some calculation across __Table>
