Measure Sum using Dates

Anonymous — Mon, 11 Jan 2021 18:14:54 GMT

Hello All

I have a column called FY_QTR and it has values like 1st QTR, 2nd QTR, etc. I also have a column called StorageCharge which has dollar values.

I want to create a Measure that will Sum the Storage Charges for the 2nd Quarter. How would that be written in DAX?

I need to make this into a measure becuase I am going to use this measure to add to another measure on a different page Thanks for any help!

hey,

Measure = calculate(sum(table[storagecharge], table[FY_QTR] = "2nd QTR"))

if this helped over with your question give some kudos and mark as solution for others to find it.

Thanks worked great and I will accept as Solution! I do have a follow on question, how would I write this if I have mulitple fields to add for 2nd Qtr-----say I have Storagecharge, CPUCharge and MemoryCharge (all frome same table) and need to include them all in the formula you gave me?

if I understand correctly you talking of multiiply condition for the sum sure you can do this adding filters on the measure example:

Measure = calculate(sum(table[storagecharge], table[FY_QTR] = "2nd QTR" , table[CPUCharge] = "value parameter"))

and so on you add by "," a new filter condition.
