Hi,

I would like to have calculated column to sum on distinct Value based on month coulumn,
the result expected is of ValueTotal column
i was able to take the distinct value and sum but unable to add filter on month before sum
ValueTotal= SUMX(SUMMARIZE('Table1','Table1'[Value]),'Table1'[value])
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @sheenajose , you might want to try this formula in a calcaulated column,
TotalDistinctValue =
SUMX (
CALCULATETABLE (
DISTINCT ( 'Table1'[Value] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table1', 'Table1'[Month] )
),
'Table1'[Value]
)
or equally,
TotalDistinctValue 2 =
SUMX (
CALCULATETABLE (
DISTINCT ( Table1[Value] ),
FILTER ( Table1, [Month] = EARLIER ( Table1[Month] ) )
),
Table1[Value]
)
Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |
