Add values when other column is a duplicate value
Hello all,
I'm facing an issue in Power BI Desktop with the following:
I need my 'object' column to be PK. However there can be more than one amount registered on this object. Dataset has the following structure;
To make this object column PK I want to add the amount numbers to have it structured as the following:
please keep in note that object column is a lookupvalue from a measured column and therefore cant be seen in Query Editor
Can someone help me solve this issue?
thank you!
Hi Benrod ,
According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.
(1) My test data is the same as yours.
(2) We can create a table and a calculated column.
Table 2 = VALUES('Table'[object])amount = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[amount]),FILTER('Table','Table'[object]=EARLIER('Table 2'[object])))(3) Then the result is as follows.
If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.

Usually you would normalize your data into the object dimension table and the Amounts fact table.
