Summarize data into new table
Hello,
I have the following data
I am trying to create a new table that groups the "Department" column and sums "No of device"
filtered on "Ticket Status" (Open) and "Attribute" containing the keyword "Laptop".
| ID | Year | Department | Ticket Status | Attributes | No of device |
| 1 | 2022 | Finance | Open | Laptop keyboard issue | 2 |
| 2 | 2022 | Finance | Open | Docking Station | 2 |
| 3 | 2022 | HR | Closed | Laptop Disk Issue | 1 |
| 4 | 2022 | IT | Open | Docking Station | 2 |
| 5 | 2022 | IT | Open | Laptop Webcam Issue | 9 |
Hi harpreetsingh08 ,
Here a solution in DAX:
Note, I called the table you pasted above 'TableToBeGrouped'
TableGroupedNew = SUMMARIZE ( FILTER ( 'TableToBeGrouped', [Ticket Status] = "Open" && CONTAINSSTRING ( TableToBeGrouped[Attributes], "Laptop" ) ), [Department], "SumOfTickets", SUM ( 'TableToBeGrouped'[No of device] ) )Let me know if this helps or if you need the solution in Power Query 🙂

You cannot sum over strings. You need to change the column to number:
Hope this helps!

There is one more fix I need help with, the "No of device" is a string.
How to sum a string data type?
