Sum total rows that have the same expression

adriandumitru_0-1669102862320.png

I have DocumentID, LineNo and Amount as columns.

I want to sum all DocumentID's Amount that have a specific expression on LineNo. The result from the picture should be the sum of blue values, because only does DocumentIDs have "test1" on LineNo.

Aha, then try this:

Measure =
VAR IDList =
CALCULATETABLE(
    VALUES(TableName[DocumentID]),
    TableName[LineNo]="test1"
)
RETURN
CALCULATE(
    SUM(TableName[Amount]),
    IDList
)
 
i tried and it worked like this:

try to create a measure with the code below:
 
Test1Amount =
CALCULATE(
    SUM(TableName[Amount]),
    TableName[LineNo] = "test1"
)

 

makes sense?

No, this measure will sum only rows with "test1". This will sum only green rows, I need to sum blue rows.

 

try to create a measure with the code below:

 
Test1Amount =
CALCULATE(
    SUM(TableName[Amount]),
    TableName[DocumentID] in {"SCM234", "SCM235", "SCM236"}
)

This is just a sample. I have millions of documents and I don't know which one of them has "test1" on LineNo.

Aha, then try this:

Measure =
VAR IDList =
CALCULATETABLE(
    VALUES(TableName[DocumentID]),
    TableName[LineNo]="test1"
)
RETURN
CALCULATE(
    SUM(TableName[Amount]),
    IDList
)
