Summation - TOP N Scenario

[bmk]

Hello,

I wish to perform a SUM operation based on a specific scenario. I'd tried TOPN but I belive this could be the wrong approach. Also, the 'Comments' column for each row of the serial number will always be unique.

Below is the sample table :

I want an output like this :

Would appreciate any guidance around this, thanks.

Hi @bmk ,

Please try

Output =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[Cat1] ),
    FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), [Comments] = MAX ( 'Table'[Comments] ) )
)
    + CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Cat2] ),
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), [Comments] = MAX ( 'Table'[Comments] ) )
    )

From what you want your output to be, it seems like you just want a maximum for each serial number. Is this correct? You can create a measure = max(table[output]) and get what you're looking for I believe

This should work I believe. Would ALLEXCEPT be required at all?

That would depend on what context filters you are using and if you want them to affect the final value!
