Hello Friends I need help with distinct total.

Below is table

column1 Column2

A 10

B 20

A 10

C 30

the desired output is

Coulmn2

------

Total= 10

*total should be 10 as I want to sum only distinct values and want to display non distinct value in column. Is that possible?

Hi davehardikkumar
Is this a data table or a table visual? Also please clarify further the desired output and present the complete picture.

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

Place Column1 in a table visual along with the following measure

Column2Measure = VAR T = SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[Column1], 'Table'[Column2] ) RETURN IF ( HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[Column1] ), SUMX ( T, 'Table'[Column2] ), SUMX ( T, IF ( COUNTROWS ( CALCULATETABLE ( 'Table' ) ) >= 2, 'Table'[Column2] ) ) )

Thank you. I have one more scenaio added to this table. there is third column.

Column1 Coulmn2 column3

A 10 Yes

B 20 No

C 30 Null

------ --------

Total= 10

desired total is 10 based on column3 value but column should also keep the other values. when I tried to use filter with suumarize in above code, it gives me the correct answer but it removes the other values from the cloumn. it just shows only 10 where as I have to display 10,20,30. How can I achive it?

Below is desired output. Many Thanks.

column2

----

total 10

Hi davehardikkumar

please try

Column2Measure =
IF (
HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[Column1] ),
SUM ( 'Table'[Column2] ),
CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Column2] ), 'Table'[Column3] = "Yes" )
)
