DAX Help - Compute Correct Total

Anonymous — Tue, 27 Dec 2022 20:43:16 GMT

Total = Rate * Amount

I need a DAX expression that will return the correct total for both CA & FL (5,000 + 2,500 = 7,500)

Current expression is returning 15,000

Below returns 15,000

VAR _RATE = SUMX( VALUES('table'[State]), SUM('Table'[Rate]))
VAR _TOTAL = [Amount] * _RATE

Essentially, need an expression that will sum the Total column in first table.

Thank you

Hi Anonymous

Create a measure with the following DAX Code:

Total = sumx( 'Table', 'Table'[Rate]*'Table'[Amount])

_____________________________________________
Alternatively,

1. Create a custom column"Total" in Power Query Editor = [Rate]*[Amount]

2. In the report view, create a measure Total = Sum([Total])

Power Query code for calculated column:

let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcnZU0lEy0DMFkoYGQKAUqxOtFOwGFzQFi8UCAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [State = _t, Rate = _t, Amount = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"State", type text}, {"Rate", type number}, {"Amount", Int64.Type}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Total", each [Rate]*[Amount]),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Custom",{{"Total", type number}})
in
#"Changed Type1"

Please accept this as the solution if it resolves your query.

Appreciate a thumbs up if it helps.
