Creating measure on dimension table column without bi direction filtering

[ArunTiruveedula]

Hi All,

I am trying to create a measure based on Dimension Table Column using CONCATENATEX. Below is the simple example.

FACT_SALES			DIM_PRODUCT
DATE	PRODUCT_KEY	SALES_AMOUNT			PRODUCT_KEY	PRODUCT_NAME
01/01/2020	101	100			101	Pen
01/01/2020	102	500			102	Box
01/01/2020	103	200			103	Pencil
					104	Scale
					105	Bag

I need in the report output as below.

Date	Products Sold	Total Sales Measure
01/01/2020	Pen; Box; Pencil	800

But when I create measure Products Sold = CONCATENATEX(DIM_PRODUCT,'PRODUCT_NAME', ";") , I end up having all Products (Scale and Bag also) as I did not define Bi direction filter from Fact to Dimension.

Out put with above measure formula : (Not desired)

Date	Products Sold	Total Sales Measure
01/01/2020	Pen; Box; Pencil ; Scale; Bag	800

Please help how to handle it in DAX.

Thanks

@ArunTiruveedula try this

Product_Sod:=CONCATENATEX(SUMMARIZE(FACT_SALES,DIM_PRODUCT[PRODUCT_NAME]),DIM_PRODUCT[PRODUCT_NAME],",")

@ArunTiruveedula , Make sure two table have an active relation on product_key. The formaul seems correct. You can try

Products Sold = CONCATENATEX(values(DIM_PRODUCT['PRODUCT_NAME]),[PRODUCT_NAME], ";")

Hi @ArunTiruveedula 

Try this

Products Sold =
VAR keys_ =
    DISTINCT ( FACT_SALES[PRODUCT_KEY] )
RETURN
    CONCATENATEX (
        FILTER ( ALL ( DIM_PRODUCT ), DIM_PRODUCT[PRODUCT_KEY] IN keys_ ),
        DIM_PRODUCT[PRODUCT_NAME],
        ", "
    )

or this

Products Sold V2 = 
VAR keys_ = DISTINCT ( FACT_SALES[PRODUCT_KEY] )
RETURN
    CONCATENATEX (
        CALCULATETABLE(  DIM_PRODUCT, TREATAS(keys_, DIM_PRODUCT[PRODUCT_KEY] )),
        DIM_PRODUCT[PRODUCT_NAME],
        ", "
    )
