Sum without using a function

Wilk89 — Fri, 01 Mar 2024 13:51:44 GMT

Hi,

I have a problem, I used a function that multiplies the number of pieces with the value and when sum it, the value is added incorrectly, it should be 5748, while it shows 11 496 because it still uses the above-mentioned funkction, it is possible to narrow the formula only to the lowest row and then only sum? I can do it in power query, but I would like to know if it is also possible in different way.

Hi,

Use functions like SUMX. Example:
Data:

Incorrect:

Measure 15 = SUM('Table (23)'[Column1])*SUM('Table (23)'[Column2])

Correct:

Measure 16 = SUMX('Table (23)','Table (23)'[Column1]*'Table (23)'[Column2])

End result:

I hope this post helps to solve your issue and if it does consider accepting it as a solution and giving the post a thumbs up!

I have two different tables and unfortunately it doesn't work unless I have to nest it differently?

Value = SUMX('Table1','Table1'[Column1])*SUMX('Table2','Table2'[Column1])

hi Wilk89

Something like this, you need to make your measure Additive in this case. If the two tables are linked in Data model and you are using SUMX, then you can use RELATED function to get value from table on one side of relation ship.
