Sum only Values where another Column has Data

Harder than it looks:  I have this simple table like below:  I want to calculate how we're performing based on the goal in a Card.  So I need to Sum only the goal values where the Gross Adds column i...

Hi BrianNeedsHelp ,

 

I want to acknowledge valuable input provided by lbendlin . Their initial ideas help guide my approach. However, I noticed that more details are needed to fully understand this issue.

 

We can create two measures.

Measure 2 = IF(SUM('Table'[Gross Adds ])<>BLANK(),[GAGoal],0)
SumGoals = SUMX(FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Calendar'),[Date]<=MAX('Calendar'[Date])),[Measure 2])

Then the result is as follows.

 

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.

 

Best Regards,

Neeko Tang

    This is what it does:  [SumGoalslessThanDate] is like your Measure2.

        Anonymous  Company won't allow file sharing, and the model is so large, I'm not even sure how to replicate it.  I'll try with the Contoso database and see if I can replicate the issue.  As I've explained, I think the problem may be that [GAGoal] is computed by a measure and not a column. And the [GAGoal] measure is computed by using other measures,   which is like this: 

        [PreviousYearGrossAdds]/[PYGAsAll]*[LocQuota]

        Did you see how it puts the grand total in each row instead of filtering it?
