Hi community,
I would like to know how i can add a column that has the total based on two columns. In this example i have in the first column, the name of the category, the second column the number of products and in the third, the sum of each category.
Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
A | 2 | 6 |
A | 1 | 6 |
A | 3 | 6 |
B | 5 | 10 |
B | 5 | 10 |
My question will be the dax or power query of how i can add this third column
Need help , Data help and tips , Free intermediate tutorials?

Hi, @sebasplas313
Please check the following methods.
1. Dax
Column:
Column 3 =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Column 2] ),
FILTER ( 'Table', [Column 1] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Column 1] ) )
)
2. Power Query
First copy the table into table2 in the power query.
Merge table2. in the original table and expand the new column.
Is this the result you expect?

Try this DAX expression to add a new calculated column to your table:
Column 3 DAX =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table (2)'[Column 2] ),
REMOVEFILTERS ( 'Table (2)'[Column 2] )
)
Output:
