Dear
I got a problem when calculate the distinct sum value.
I want to get the sum value of different "category" based on the distinct value in column "Time", which means I want the value"sum technical =60+15","sum External = 20+10".
I have try this DAX
"
Technical-Distinct =
calculate(
sum('Test'[Value]),
'Test'[Category]="Technical",
distinct('Test'[Time])
)
"
But it seems didn't work.😭
Anybody could help that?
Very appreciate it!
| ID | Category | Value | Time |
| 1 | Technical | 60 | 8/25/2023 11:00 |
| 2 | Technical | 60 | 8/25/2023 11:00 |
| 3 | Technical | 60 | 8/25/2023 11:00 |
| 1 | External | 20 | 8/25/2023 11:00 |
| 2 | External | 20 | 8/25/2023 11:00 |
| 3 | External | 20 | 8/25/2023 11:00 |
| 4 | Technical | 15 | 9/15/2023 17:00 |
| 5 | Technical | 15 | 9/15/2023 17:00 |
| 4 | External | 10 | 9/15/2023 17:00 |
| 5 | External | 10 | 9/15/2023 17:00 |

Hi @2023Lee ,
try like:
Technical-Distinct =
SUMX(
FILTER(
SUMMARIZE(
test,
test[category],
test[time],
test[value]
),
test[category]="Technical"
),
test[value]
)
it worked like:

Add a table visual on your canves, add the category and the following measure:
M1 =
SUMX(
SUMMARIZE( Table10 , Table10[Category] , Table10[Time] ) ,
CALCULATE( MAX( Table10[Value] ) )
)

Hi @Fowmy
I tried your solutions, it looks very well when I use use a table or chart visual, just need to add the category as column/legend.
Tnanks for your sharing, which also gives me some ideas to get more data.😀

@2023Lee Hi! Try with:
DistinctSum =
SUMX (
VALUES ( 'Test'[Time] ),
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Test'[Value] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Test', 'Test'[Category] )
)
)
