Remove Total from Column in a Table

Hi all

 

I have a table with a calculated measure where I am working out the number of days since a particular date  in a column.  Below is my DAX for it.

 

Days Open = DATEDIFF(MAX('Gift'[date]),TODAY(), DAY)
 
However when I use this measure in the table it totals it up in the column which I dont need so I wanted to find out if there was a way to hide or remove this from the totals row.  I want to show the other totals so its just for this specific column " Days Open" only.

    Hi madmanmark198,

    Measure expression cant be used as a category to expand records, so the 'do not summarize' option will not appear on this field 'right click' menu.

    For your requirement, I'd like to suggest you add an if statement to your expression to check the current row context level to prevent the calculation on the total level.

    Days Open =
IF (
    ISINSCOPE ( Table[Category] ),
    DATEDIFF ( MAX ( 'Gift'[date] ), TODAY (), DAY )
)

    ISINSCOPE function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Docs

    Regards,

    Hi madmanmark198 ,

    You can click on the visual, then navigate to the visualizations pane--> Totals --> Values --> Off

      Thanks Rohit but this turns of the whole row of totals.  I would still like to show the totals of a number of the other columns I have.  So what I am looking for is the total for that specific column not to show.  Do you know of a way?

        Hi madmanmark198 ,

        You could try clicking on the dropdown icon in the column and selecting don't summarize. Maybe that helps?

         


        Kind regards,

        Rohit
