Summarize issue
Hello,
In a new table, I want to summarize a column; and then sum the values that are matching together :
ExistingTable-
Column A Values
A 2
A 2
A 4
B 1
B 1
B
New Table-
Column A Values
A 8
B 2
I'm Using this code :
New table = SUMMARIZE( ' ExistingTable ' ; ' ExistingTable ' [Column A] ; Sum ( ' Existing Table ' [Values] )
I'm wondering why wouldn't that be working ?
Thanks :)
Joak,
You may use GROUPBY Function as well. By the way, to help close this thread, accept the solution above. Your contribution is highly appreciated.
New table = GROUPBY ( ExistingTable, ExistingTable[Column A], "Values", SUMX ( CURRENTGROUP (), ExistingTable[Values] ) )

Hey,
I guess your Table-Calculation should look like this
New table = SUMMARIZE( ' ExistingTable ' ; ' ExistingTable ' [Column A] ; "Values", Sum ( ' Existing Table ' [Values] ) )
It seems your formula just missed a column name for the aggregated value.
And for a couple of reasons it also a good practice to take this article into account:http://www.sqlbi.com/articles/best-practices-using-summarize-and-addcolumns/
Hope this helps
Thanks, you're right it works now thanks for the highlight and the article !
