Hep with the formula

@v-yaningy-msft

Hi 

 

I have a formula below for calculating the sum of gross risk potential in the table. I want the sum calculation based on the risk name instead of summing up the entire column. I tried the below formula but it is not giving the correct value. 

I can give an example

The total sum of gross risk potential is 100. But the gross risk potential for risk A is 20. I want to get this separate value for all the risks i have in a single column without creating multiple columns. 

 

TotalRiskPotentialPerRisk =

SUMX(

    VALUES(Top_Risk_Controls[Riskname]),

    CALCULATE(

        SUM(Top_Risk_Controls[Gross_risk_potential]),

        Top_Risk_Controls[Riskname] = EARLIER(Top_Risk_Controls[Riskname])

    )

)

In the above formula, im getting the same values as the gross risk potential column instead of the sum of them based on the risk name. How to get the sum of the values based on the risk name.

 

Please note that the data source is the sharepoint list.

In tha above table, i have gross potential for each controls and each control is mapped against different risks. I just gave an example of two risks here but i have multiple risks in the original data. I want to create a single formula for the burndown columns

For that,

1. I have to add up the sum of gross_risk_potential and actual_risk_reduction for each of the risk separately 

2. There should be cumulative reduction of the values from the sum. For eg- Vendor-service transitions risk has the total sum of 60. Control A has gross potential of 10. The gross_potential_burndown should be 50. For control B it would be 50(previous value)-20(present value)=30

Basically i want all the above 2 points i.e summing up gross_risk_potential and actual_risk_reduction for each of the risk separately and doing cumulative subtraction for each row.

The closest formula i got was calculating the sum value for each risk separately which implies creating multiple columns and doing the cumulative subtraction. Is there a way easier than this?

The first item is simple

For your second item you need to provide a sort order.  Is it supposed to be alphabetic by Controls?

 

Not sure what the expected outcome should look like for point 2.

 

 Hi,

1. Can you please tell me what will be the calculation for the summing up which you did in the above picture?

2. I have given the expected outcomes in the last two columns of the table- Gross risk burndown and actual risk burndown.

I want the last two columns, gave a desirable output along with the calculation. Based on the last two columns i want to create a burndown for the risks on how they are reducing on a regular period with the implementation of controls

 

1. I used implicit measures directly in the visual.

 

2. I am very much lost, I don't understand a single one of these calculations. I hope someone else can help you further.

Can you please help me figure out how to get the 1st point values in a formula rather than in a visual. I need a column of those calculations so that i can try to figure out the second part of the problem. Im not able to get the calculations in a column using any formula.
