Dax - Creating a Measure

Anonymous — Thu, 01 Oct 2020 18:22:07 GMT

Hi,

I am new to power BI and would like to know if anyone will be able to assist with the following query.

I have created a table which contains my financial items and my raw data actuals. However i was wondering whether i can create an actuals measure instead which will allocate all my data to the specific rows.

Anonymous ,The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
Appreciate your Kudos.

See below Sample data. I have two tables in this model which i have created, however i have not created a relationship between the two tables!

I have created a table in which then i have brought in the category and financial statement list from the Financial Category template. I would then like to create a measure which would then e.g. allocate the actuals results from the transaction table to the every specific row within the report linked to the Financial statement list .

See below transaction table and Financial Category Template. In addition to report output

Transaction Table

Hi Anonymous ,

We can create a calculate column and use the filter on this page to meet your requirement.

1. Create an actual column in Financial Category table.

Column = var _actual = CALCULATE( SUM('Transaction Table'[Actuals ]), FILTER('Transaction Table','Transaction Table'[Financial Statement Breakdown]='Financial Category'[financial statement list])) return IF( ISBLANK(_actual),0,_actual)

2. Then we can create a table visual and configure like this,

If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that you have shared?
