Hi everyone,
I have a calculated measure and for some reason it's not summing correctly. This is my measure, and below you can see the results:
Linqto Bucks Promotional Cost =
Var true_24 = calculate(COUNTA(Orders[24 Rolling]), Orders[24 Rolling]=TRUE(), Orders[Payment Type]="Wire")
return
IF(true_24 = 2, 1000, IF(true_24=3, 2000, IF(true_24>3, 5000, 0)))Orders[24 Rolling] is a Boolean True/False Column.
I am trying to see if there's X amount of Orders[24 Rolling] = True && Orders[Payment Type]="Wire" , then assign certain value.
You can see the sum isn't working at the end. Any ideas?
Solved! Go to Solution.
This worked, I used this website to reach my solution:
https://finance-bi.com/blog/power-bi-totals-incorrect/
Linqto Bucks Promotional Cost =
var summarizedTable = ADDCOLUMNS (
SUMMARIZE ( Orders, Orders[User Id]),
"Qualifying Orders", CALCULATE ( COUNTA(Orders[24 Rolling]), Orders[24 Rolling]=TRUE(), Orders[Payment Type]="Wire"))
return
SUMX(summarizedTable,
IF([Qualifying Orders]=2, 1000,
IF([Qualifying Orders]=3, 2000,
IF([Qualifying Orders]>3, 3000,BLANK()))))
Can you share a samole of your data table in a text format. BTW, check this link:

Hi @VahidDM ,
I am really not getting it. My data looks as the following:
| User ID | Order ID | 24hr Rolling | Payment Method |
| 24 | 100 | True | Uphold |
| 30 | 105 | False | Wire |
| 45 | 200 | True | Wire |
| 45 | 204 | True | Wire |
| 24 | 101 | True | Uphold |
| 45 | 303 | True | Wire |
The desired output is the following:
- filter for orders where payment method = wire, and 24hr rolling = True, groupby user ID
- calculate promotional cost with different IF statements
if count of 2hr rolling = 2, then 1000
if count of 2hr rolling = 3, then 2000
if count of 2hr rolling > 3, then 5000
| User ID | Sum of Count of 24hr Rolling where 24hr rolling = True | Promotional Cost |
| 45 | 3 | 2000 |
I am able to calculate the appropriate promotional cost for each user ID, but the summing isn't working using this DAX measure:
Linqto Bucks Promotional Cost =
Var true_24 = calculate(COUNTA(Orders[24 Rolling]), Orders[24 Rolling]=TRUE(), Orders[Payment Type]="Wire")
return
IF(true_24 = 2, 1000, IF(true_24=3, 2000, IF(true_24>3, 5000, 0)))

var summarizedTable = ADDCOLUMNS (
SUMMARIZE ( Orders, Orders[User Id]),

return
SUMX(summarizedTable,
IF([Qualifying Orders]=2, 1000,
IF([Qualifying Orders]=3, 2000,
IF([Qualifying Orders]>3, 3000,BLANK()))))
