but i want to take sum of other columns also .

Let me know how can i incorporate, other columns like filedownloads,videos

Hi,

I am not sure how your datamodel looks like, but please try the below whether it suits your requirement.

new measure = CALCULATE ( SUMX ( table, table[visits] + table[filedownloads] + table[videos] ), ALLSELECTED ( table[pagename] ) )

Thanks for the input.

I need to use this measure as values in matrix visual and show visits,file downloads and videos in different rows.

The solution that you have provided sums up all 3 columns but i need to show these 3 separately .

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.

Please share your sample pbix file's link together with how your desired outcome of the visualization looks like, and then I can try to look into it to come up with a more accurate solution.

Thanks.

Hi Jane689 ,

I have created a simple sample, please refer to it to see if it helps you.

Create 2 measures.

Measure = MAX('Table'[videos])+MAX('Table'[filedownloads])+MAX('Table'[visits])

Measure 2 = var _b=SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[pagename],"aaa",[Measure]) return IF(HASONEVALUE('Table'[pagename]),[Measure],SUMX(_b,[aaa]))

If it still does not help, please provide more details with your desired output and pbix file without privacy information.

Best Regards
