Hello everyone
I hope you can help me with my Parent Child Hierarchy problem.
I want to use a Dax measure to make the amount from the fact table (on hierarchy leaves) available on all node levels.
The specialty is that I want to use the flat hierarchy column “Name” from the table “Hierarchy” in the visual.
In the attached picture you can see the test data and the desired result.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @polestar_11
You can try below measure.
Measure =
SUMX(
SUMMARIZE('Hierarchy','Hierarchy'[Name],'Hierarchy'[ID]),
CALCULATE(
SUM('Fact'[Amount]),
TREATAS(
CALCULATETABLE(
VALUES('Hierarchy'[ID]),
PATHCONTAINS('Hierarchy'[Path],EARLIER('Hierarchy'[ID])),
ALL()
),
'Fact'[ID]
)
)
)
Did I answer your question? If yes, pls mark my post as a solution and appreciate your Kudos !
Thank you~

Thank you~
That works perfect. What is the Reason that it doesn't work with a relation between the two tables? Is there a solution with a relation?
Hi @polestar_11, try these measures below, and if you encounter any issues, let me know.
Create a measure for Total Amount:
Total Amount = SUM('Fact Table'[Amount])
Create a measure for Hierarchy Aggregation
Aggregated Amount =
VAR CurrentNode = MAX('Hierarchy'[Name])
RETURN
CALCULATE(
[Total Amount],
FILTER(
ALL('Hierarchy'),
PATHCONTAINS('Hierarchy'[Path], CurrentNode)
)
)
