Summing a column in table visual
Nothing can be said about it because you have not shown us the model and how the measure is written.
"Amount" is raw data. "Sum of Amount" is just selecting "Sum" in the aggregation choices for that column.
I don't know what else to provide, the model has a whole bunch of things unrelated to my question and I've yet to figure out how to provide info without giving away all of my client's data!
Let's try this: I added an index upstream to give me a column I can show you which will also force the table to display not aggregated.
You can see that there are multiple rows with similar amounts (e.g., two rows with Amount = $15k). So without the index the table collapses to what I showed in the OP.
It makes sense to me that "Sum of Amount" will show $30k because there are two rows in the source data with the amount of $15k. My question is how can I get a column total on the "Amount" column which sums the row values shown, namely only one occurrence of the $15k value, one occurrence of the $17k value, etc. Like this:
I am doing my best to provide the info needed, but I don't really know what to provide. If there is still not enough here for you to move the ball down the field with me, maybe you can ask a clarifying question or two. Thanks in advance.
