Group rows with same and different values.

[Anonymous]

Hi, I am trying to group/summarize rows with the same values. The problem is some of rows are a match for 2/3 of the columns which screws up my data. 

Example: 

Before query is executed

Email	Dept Number	Cost
name@mail.com	5656	2.00
name2@mail.com	1212	6.00
name@mail.com	5656	3.00
name@mail.com	5656	2.00

After query is executed

Email	Dept Number	Cost
name@mail.com	5656	4.00
name2@mail.com	1212	6.00
name@mail.com	5656	3.00

I need the similar rows with different cost to be rolled up as well. I am using a simple summarize query to achieve this but how can I get the rows with different cost to be grouped in as well?

hi @Anonymous 

try to create a calculated table like:

SumTable =
ADDCOLUMNS(
    SUMMARIZE(
        TableName,
        TableName[Email],
        TableName[Dept Number]
    ),
    "Cost",
    CALCULATE(SUM(TableName[Cost]))
)

Also, in Power Query Editor, you can try to Groupby the query,

That worked ! One more thing though im trying to add a date filter but Im getting an error that "," before cost is incorrect. Any Idea why? 

DEFINE VAR MAveragePrice =
ADDCOLUMNS (
CALCULATETABLE (
SUMMARIZE ( 'Usage details amortized',
'Usage details amortized'[Tags - copy.DepartmentNumber],
'Usage details amortized'[Tags - copy.OwnerEmail]),
Usage details amortized'[Date])>= DATE ( 2022, 12, 01 ) &&
'Usage details amortized'[Date] <= DATE ( 2022, 12, 31 )
),
"Cost",
CALCULATE(SUM('Usage details amortized'[Cost])),
)
EVALUATE
MAveragePrice

hi @Anonymous 

CALCULATETABLE seems unnecessary, or?

p.s. please consider @someone, to continue a discussion.

@FreemanZ Maybe. I've tried Omitting it but I'm sure I got the formatting wrong. Where do you suppose I put the date filter?

hi @Anonymous 

sorry, i mislook part of your previous code. In cases like that, the filtering shall apply outside of ADDCOLUMNS. 

try like:

DEFINE 
VAR MAveragePrice =
CALCULATETABLE (
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        SUMMARIZE ( 
            'Usage details amortized',
            'Usage details amortized'[Tags - copy.DepartmentNumber],
            'Usage details amortized'[Tags - copy.OwnerEmail]),
            'Usage details amortized'[Date]
        ),
        "Cost",
        CALCULATE(SUM('Usage details amortized'[Cost]))
    ),
    'Usage details amortized'[Date])>= DATE ( 2022, 12, 01 ) &&
    'Usage details amortized'[Date] <= DATE ( 2022, 12, 31 )
)
EVALUATE
MAveragePrice
