help with DAX SUMX

Hello!

I'm just starting out with DAX and Power BI. I've created a basic DAX measure where I calculate two columns after applying a filter on other columns.

My question is: Is there a way to use the result from the part cost measure and multiply it by another column value that has been filtered in the same way as the part cost measure?

 

my DAX code:

Parts Cost = CALCULATE(SUMX(FILTER(QuoteCostSheetLine,QuoteCostSheetLine[wb_ActivityCode] = "Parts"),QuoteCostSheetLine[Quantity] * QuoteCostSheetLine[wb_CostRate]))

Hi @lookieuk 

 

Thanks for the reply from lbendlin .

 

The following is a test I did using sample data for your reference.

Measure:

Result = 
VAR _M1 = CALCULATE(SUM(financials[Profit]), FILTER('financials', [Country] = "Canada"))
VAR _M2 = CALCULATE(SUM(financials[Sale Price]), FILTER('financials', [Country] = "Canada"))
RETURN
_M1 * _M2

 

Output:

If the problem still exists, then as Lindlin said, you need to provide sample data and expected results based on the sample data so that we can better help you. Please remove any sensitive data in advance.

Yeah, that code looks a little adventurous.
