MROUND - Rounding to the nearest 5
Good afternoon,
Having an issue with MROUND.
I have a table with college courses, and would like to look at the FTE for each institution and course, how ever it doesn't seem to like "the value for FTE cannot be determined. Either the column doesn't exist, or there is not current row for this column"
So table would look something like this
| Year | Institution | Qual | FTE | Gender |
| 2019/20 | 1 | Dip | 1 | 1 |
| 2020/21 | 3 | Cert | 0.5 | 2 |
| 2019/20 | 1 | First | 1 | 2 |
| 2020/21 | 3 | Cert | 1 | 1 |
| 2019/20 | 1 | First | 1 | 1 |
The measure was FTE Rounded = MROUND([FTE]),5)
So the output would look like
Year FTE FTE Rounded
2019/20 3 5
2020/21 1.5 0 (as less than 2.5, rounds down)
Any help greatly recieved.

not sure if i fully get your, please create a calculated table with this:
SumTable = VAR _table = ADDCOLUMNS( VALUES( TableName[Year] ), "FTE", CALCULATE(SUM(TableName[FTE])) ) RETURN ADDCOLUMNS( _table, "FTE Rounded", MROUND([FTE], 5) )i tried and it worked like this:
Thanks this works in a table, but doesn't work when adding in a slicer.
Say for example I needed a matrix in Gender by year with a larger dataset, and then want to filer by qualification
Filter = Dip
16/17 17/18 18/19 19/20 20/21
Male 222 (220) 256(255) 212(210) 248(250) 227(225)
Female 229 (230) 246(245) 232(230) 248(250) 207(205)
Would I need to add multiple columns in? In brackets is the rounded numbers, don't need to to displayed this way, but this is what should be pulling through rather than the whole number.
Thank you very much
you would need a measure like this:
measure = VAR _sum = SUM(TableName[FTE]) RETURN MROUND(_sum, 5)with the sample data you provided in the original post and changing 5 to 2, it worked like this:
p.s. please consider @someone, if you seek further suggestions.
Suzie_Suze_Sue , this you need to create a new column
FTE Rounded = MROUND([FTE]),5)
The measure will be like
FTE Rounded =Sumx(Table, MROUND([FTE]),5) )
Thanks
I have tried this and get the error
The syntaxt for ') is incorrect. 9DAX(Sumx(Table, MROUND([FTE]),5) ))).
Try this:
FTE Rounded =Sumx(Table, MROUND([FTE],5) )
