Hello,
I am trying to write a measure to sum up values in one column based on the selection on another column. I have two tables connected to each other on a document number.
Table1:-
Document Number |
SCR10400015 |
SCR10400015 |
and
Table2:-
Entry No_ | Document No_ | Item Ledger Entry No_ | Cost Amount (Non-Invtbl_) |
206716 | SCR10400015 | 192048 | 0 |
206718 | SCR10400015 | 192049 | 0 |
255525 | SCR10400015 | 192048 | 0 |
211079 | SCR10400015 | 192048 | 0 |
206719 | SR00000015 | 192049 | 84.93 |
206717 | SR00000015 | 192048 | 1654.69 |
Now, I am trying to write a measure to calculate the sum of column 'Cost Amount (Non-Invtbl_)' using this logic-
1. When a user selects the document number from table 1, table 2 also gets filtered on the same document number(in this case SCR10400015).
2. Then select all the values corresponding to column 'Item Ledger Entry No_' against this document number(i.e 192048 and 192049)
3. Now, clear the filter on document number 'SCR10400015' but select all records in the table containing 'Item Ledger Entry No_' of 192048 and 192049; so now we will have a selection of document numbers SCR10400015 and SR00000015.
4. Add up all the numbers on column Cost Amount (Non-Invtbl_) to arrive at a value of 1739.62.
I tried writing a DAX formula:
Mesure 1: Cost = sum(Cost Amount (Non-Invtbl_))
Measure 2: Cost Total =
Cost Total = VAR _select=VALUES( 'Table1'[Item Ledger Entry No_] ) RETURN
Thank you @wdx223_Daniel . However, I am still getting an error with this formula. The document numbers on both the tables are in text format
@Anonymous it's data type error, you need to keep both of columns to compare have same data type, integer or text.
Thank you for the suggestion! I have added in an indirect relationship between the two tables. The document numbers will repeat because they have multiple items attached to them. I have uploaded a sample file for reference.
