Hey, I'm stuck on something I think should be simple but im going a bit mad getting there. I want to sum a total of everything in a table, where column A = the value of the current row. So if column A contains Apples, and column B contains costs of Applies, i want a column that shows the total costs of all rows of Apples
Fruit Cost Subtotal
Apple 1 4
Apple 3 4
Banana 2 2
Orange 4 4
However, i want it to show the full subtotal, regardless of if the table is filtered. The table is being filtered by other measures on the same table I've tried ALL/ALLEXCEPT, and it seems to repeat every row on the table, even when filtered by Apple. What am i missing please?
@Anonymous - So generally you are going to use SUMX(FILTER('Table'), [Column] = "Something"),[Value]) or CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]),FILTER('Table',[Column] = "Something"))
Thanks Greg. The problem I have is getting it to ignore existing filters. I tried this, but it seems to just think forever as soon as i add the all()
@Anonymous - I can't make heads or tails of that formula because it doesn't seem to relate back to the sample data.
With your sample data as reference, if you have "Fruit" in a visual, you could do this:
Measure =
VAR __Fruit = MAX('Table'[Fruit])
RETURN
SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Fruit] = __Fruit),[Cost])
or
Measure =
VAR __Fruit = MAX('Table'[Fruit])
RETURN
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Cost]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Fruit]=__Fruit))
