Add custom Total row

Hi, I have a requirement to add custom total row in Power BI table visual

 

Source Data:

DIM_TABLE

ID

Category

1Apple
2Orange
3Fruits Total
4Pen
5Scale
6Ink Pot
7

Stationary Total

8

Shirt

9

Pant

10

Clothing Total

 

FACT_TABLE

IDSalesAmount
1

223

2

456

4

123

5

904

6

345

8

233

9

126

This is how my source data looks.

 

My expected output should look like below:

ID

Category

SalesAmount
1Apple

223

2Orange

456

3Fruits Total

Sum of Apple (223) and Orange (456) = 679

4Pen

123

5Scale

904

6Ink Pot

345

7

Stationary Total

Sum of Pen (123) and Scale (904) and Ink Pot (345) = 1372

8

Shirt

233
9

Pant

125
10

Clothing Total

Sum of Shirt (233) and Pant (126) = 679

 

I wrote a measure to achieve this as below:

 

 

Measure = IF(MAX(DIM_TABLE[CATEGORY]) = "Fruits Total", CALCULATE(SUM(FACT_TABLE[SALESAMOUNT]), FACT_TABLE[CATEGORY] = "APPLE") + CALCULATE(SUM(FACT_TABLE[SALESAMOUNT]), FACT_TABLE[CATEGORY] = "ORANGE"), SUM(FACT_TABLE[SALESAMOUNT]))

-- Explination: IF my Category is "Fruits Total" then I want to add APPLE sales amount and Orange sales amount and show in Fruits Total. Else I want to show SUM(SalesAmount) 

 

 

IF I use this measure in card, it is showing 679 which is correct. But if I use the same measure in a table visual next to DIM_TABLE[CATEGORY] column, it is blank. Not showing anything.

Can someone please help me with the same? Thanks!

We have to break the link when calculating the total which we can do using REMOVEFILTER like this.

 

Sales with total = 
VAR _Category = SELECTEDVALUE ( DIM_TABLE[Category] )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        _Category = "Fruits Total",     CALCULATE (
                                            SUM ( FACT_TABLE[SalesAmount] ),
                                            REMOVEFILTERS ( DIM_TABLE ),
                                            DIM_TABLE[Category] IN { "Apple", "Orange" } ),
        _Category = "Stationary Total", CALCULATE (
                                            SUM ( FACT_TABLE[SalesAmount] ),
                                            REMOVEFILTERS ( DIM_TABLE ),
                                            DIM_TABLE[Category] IN { "Pen", "Scale", "Ink Pot" } ),
        _Category = "Clothing Total",   CALCULATE (
                                            SUM ( FACT_TABLE[SalesAmount] ),
                                            REMOVEFILTERS ( DIM_TABLE ),
                                            DIM_TABLE[Category] IN { "Shirt", "Pant" } ),
        SUM ( FACT_TABLE[SalesAmount] )
    )

That would be like this.

Sales with total = 
VAR _Category = SELECTEDVALUE ( DIM_TABLE[Category] )
VAR _Fruits =       CALCULATE (
                        SUM ( FACT_TABLE[SalesAmount] ),
                        REMOVEFILTERS ( DIM_TABLE ),
                        DIM_TABLE[Category] IN { "Apple", "Orange" } )
VAR _Stationary =   CALCULATE (
                        SUM ( FACT_TABLE[SalesAmount] ),
                        REMOVEFILTERS ( DIM_TABLE ),
                        DIM_TABLE[Category] IN { "Pen", "Scale", "Ink Pot" } )
VAR _Clothing =     CALCULATE (
                        SUM ( FACT_TABLE[SalesAmount] ),
                        REMOVEFILTERS ( DIM_TABLE ),
                        DIM_TABLE[Category] IN { "Shirt", "Pant" } )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        _Category = "Fruits Total", _Fruits,
        _Category = "Stationary Total", _Stationary,
        _Category = "Clothing Total",   _Clothing,
        _Category = "Total %", FORMAT ( DIVIDE (_Fruits - _Stationary, _Fruits ), "Percent" )
        SUM ( FACT_TABLE[SalesAmount] )
    )

Since we will be using some of the numbers multiple times I would move them into variables like this.

 

Sales with total = 
VAR _Category = SELECTEDVALUE ( DIM_TABLE[Category] )
VAR _Fruits =       CALCULATE (
                        SUM ( FACT_TABLE[SalesAmount] ),
                        REMOVEFILTERS ( DIM_TABLE ),
                        DIM_TABLE[Category] IN { "Apple", "Orange" } )
VAR _Stationary =   CALCULATE (
                        SUM ( FACT_TABLE[SalesAmount] ),
                        REMOVEFILTERS ( DIM_TABLE ),
                        DIM_TABLE[Category] IN { "Pen", "Scale", "Ink Pot" } )
VAR _Clothing =     CALCULATE (
                        SUM ( FACT_TABLE[SalesAmount] ),
                        REMOVEFILTERS ( DIM_TABLE ),
                        DIM_TABLE[Category] IN { "Shirt", "Pant" } )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        _Category = "Fruits Total", _Fruits,
        _Category = "Stationary Total", _Stationary,
        _Category = "Clothing Total",   _Clothing,
        _Category = "Total %", _Fruits - _Stationary & " (" & FORMAT ( DIVIDE (_Fruits - _Stationary, _Fruits ), "Percent" ) &")",
        SUM ( FACT_TABLE[SalesAmount] )
    )

 

Not sure if this is what you meant by "both (number and percentage)" so you may have to adjust it a bit.

@jdbuchanan71 - Sorry if I miss lead you. What I mean is, in the same measure (Sales with total) I want to show numbers and percentages. But not in a same row, different row based on Category. Can you please help me with this?
Expected output

CategorySales with total
Apple223
Orange456
Fruits Total679
Pen123
Scale904
Ink pot345
Stationary Total1372
Shirt233
Pant126
Clothing Total359
Total %-102.06%

 - On top of it I also have a case where there is ID 11 which is Total % where I have to calculate (Fruits Total - Stationary Total)/Fruits Total 

(679-1372)/679 = -103.12%

Along with your measure (Sales with total), I should also include this and show both (number and percentage) together. It would be great if you help on the same. Thanks!

Hi @jdbuchanan71 ,
In the sales total measure you have manuaaly passed the values in {"} instead is there's  a way to dynamically pick the values based on category. Because in my case the category will remain same but the values inside the category will change over the time as its not static.
E.g.
In below image, department name is category & Resource name are the values inside that. Also I want to rename the row header names for Totals .
NOTE: I have to level of drill down in column & rows.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks @jdbuchanan71 !
