Apologies, it is a difficult question to ask so I will explain it the best I can.
I have a visual that shows the total of a column called "Quantity" from the table [Line Items], however, there is another column on the [Line Items] table called “Category”. These categories are typically “Assembly”, “Workshop”, and “Virtual”.
Here's a sample of that table [Line Items] below:
Line Item ID | Deal ID | Category | Quantity | Amount |
1001 | 1004 | Assembly | 60 | 200 |
1002 | 1003 | Workshop | 260 | 550 |
1003 | 1003 | Workshop | 260 | 398 |
1004 | 1004 | Assembly | 60 | 800 |
1005 | 1003 | Virtual | 260 | 105 |
These line items are attatched to different Deals, and on every Deal I only want one quantity value (the quantity values will always be the same on a deal) as you can see above.
So, each quantity has a category. I want to write a measure that only calculates the quantity from one category rather than all 3. So, if my table visual shows a specific set of [Line Items] and it has quantity categories that are assembly and workshop, I want it to only take the quantity value from one or the other, not both.
So if I filter a visual that shows lineitems 1002, 1003, and 1005 that is from Deal 1003, I want the quantity to remain 260 rather than adding the quantity up. However, I still want the amount values calculated normally, so I only want the Quantity column effected.
So if I was to create say an "Official Quantity" measure, how would it go?
Official Quantity =
Solved! Go to Solution.
I found a way how to do it, incase anyone else needs to go, here is the measure I created:
