Not sum up in Parent-Child hierarchy

Anonymous — Thu, 28 Jul 2022 11:47:53 GMT

Hello,

I am working with data that is structured in a parent-child relationship which up to 12-levels. Every level already has its own value as per their ID. My objective is to display the value that is shown at every level and not roll up the sum between parent and child as I need the parent-child relationship in PowerBI for drill through purposes. The blank value in Level 3 also the child of Level 2 (which has the same ID) .

As for my DIM_INDICATOR table has flat hierarchy which only have ID and PARENTID. I have created the hierarchy using PATH functions. Attached is the sample dataset that's similar to my current project.

This content is similar to my case
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Do-not-sum-certain-columns-in-matrix-Show-values-based-on-filter/m-p/631459

I tried to do the same approach but still not get the right outcome. Maybe because I'm using PATH function and not suitable to use the approach.

Sample dataset

LEVEL 1	LEVEL 2	LEVEL 3	VALUE
VEHICLE			2345
	BUS		567
		BUS-A	78
		BUS-B	56
	CAR		456
		CAR-A	234
		CAR-B	33
		CAR-C	123
	LORRY		765
		LORRY-A	343
		LORRY-B	122
		LORRY-C	5
	PLANE		123
		PLANE-A	45
		PLANE-B	34
		PLANE-C	21

Sample DIM_KPI

DIM_KPI_ID	ID	PARENTID	VEHICLE_NAME
1	100		VEHICLE
2	101	100	BUS
3	102	100	CAR
4	103	100	LORRY
5	104	100	PLANE
6	105	101	BUS
7	106	101	BUS-A
8	107	101	BUS-B
9	108	102	CAR
10	109	102	CAR-A
11	110	102	CAR-B
12	111	102	CAR-C
13	112	103	LORRY
14	113	103	LORRY-A
15	114	103	LORRY-B
16	115	103	LORRY-C
17	116	104	PLANE
18	117	104	PLANE-A
19	118	104	PLANE-B
20	119	104	PLANE-C

Thank you.

Hi,

Are ID and Parent ID already columns present in your source data table - can thy be taken as given? How did you get the numbers in the output table?

Hi Ashish,

I have both ID and ParentID present in a dimension table called DIM_KPI. The value is taken from fact table called FACT_VEHICLE. In fact table only have the DIM_KPI_ID, DIM_MONTH and the value. Both tables connected with DIM_KPI_ID.

I created the hierarchy using PATH function. By creating the hierarchy, the PARENT is showing at CHILD level too with the same ID. For example, CAR has ID and PARENTID as CAR is the PARENT for CAR-A, CAR-B and CAR-C. But in my case, CAR also appear as blank with value at child row. Something like the picture below.

The parent value should be the same as the blank row in child as it has the same ID. When collapse the row, the value showing 155,963.56 not summing up the child.

I created calculated column as below but not give me the desired result.

CALCULATE (VALUES('FACT Env'[Value]),

FILTER(ALL('DIM KPI'), 'DIM KPI'[ID] = EARLIER('FACT Vehicle'[Indicator Id])))

Is my explanation clear?

Thank you.

Did you ever end up figuring this out? I've also run into the same issue.
