I have been struggling to find the total sum of one column grouped by conditions of other two columns.
For privacy purposes, let's say it's a veterinary dataset (it's not). Each row is for a specific vet visit for a specific animal. There are columns for specific veterinarian, animal ID, and a column that is 0 if no vaccines are administered and 1 if vaccines are administered that visit. I want to find out how many vaccine visits each animal has had by each veterinarian. I have tried a few different solutions, and I am always getting the wrong total for the "Total by Vet" col.
Note that the data is dynamic.
Below is a sample of what the data would look like and what the "Total by Vet" column should be.
In my troubleshooting, I noticed that if I make the Vaccines column a sum, for some Animal IDs I still get 0/1. For those entries, the Total by Vet col looks correct. However, for some Animal IDs, I get the vaccines sum to be some large number (5,8,9, etc) that I can't decipher where it is calculated from. But, when I multiply that large number by the appropriate number of entries, I get the incorrect Total by Vet.
Total by Vet = SUMX(FILTER(Vax,Vax[Animal ID]=EARLIER(Vax[Animal ID]) && Vax[Vet ID]=EARLIER(Vax[Vet ID)),Vax[Vaccines])
Thank you in advance!
Vet ID | Animal ID | Vaccines | Vaccines (Sum) | Given Total by Vet | Desired Total by Vet |
545 | 123 | 0 | 0 | 18 | 2 |
651 | 123 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
545 | 123 | 1 | 6 | 18 | 2 |
545 | 123 | 1 | 6 | 18 | 2 |
651 | 123 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
651 | 234 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
651 | 234 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try below measure
column =
VAR Curr_vet = Vax[Vet ID]
VAR curr_animal_id = Vax[Animal ID]
VAR result = SUMX(
FILTER(
Vax,
Vax[Vet ID] = Curr_vet && Vax[Animal ID] = curr_animal_id
),
Vax[Vaccines]
)
RETURN
result

hi @mrsbusch ,
your code shall be OK for a calculated column, if you expects a measure, then try like:
Total by Vet = SUM(Vax[Vaccines])
or?
Try below measure
column =
VAR Curr_vet = Vax[Vet ID]
VAR curr_animal_id = Vax[Animal ID]
VAR result = SUMX(
FILTER(
Vax,
Vax[Vet ID] = Curr_vet && Vax[Animal ID] = curr_animal_id
),
Vax[Vaccines]
)
RETURN
result
