Hi,
I am trying to aggregate my data and then square, while PBI first squares and then aggregates as follow:
| Input | |||
| id1 | id2 | value | sqvalue |
| 1 | 10 | 100 | 10000 |
| 1 | 10 | 200 | 40000 |
| 1 | 20 | 300 | 90000 |
| 1 | 20 | 400 | 160000 |
| 2 | 30 | 300 | 90000 |
| 2 | 20 | 600 | 360000 |
| 2 | 30 | 200 | 40000 |
| 2 | 30 | 800 | 640000 |
| 3 | 20 | 100 | 10000 |
| 3 | 10 | 200 | 40000 |
| 3 | 10 | 100 | 10000 |
PBI output:
| PBI output | |||
| id1 | id2 | value | sqvalue |
| 1 | 10 | 300 | 50000 |
| 1 | 20 | 700 | 250000 |
| 2 | 20 | 600 | 360000 |
| 2 | 30 | 1300 | 770000 |
| 3 | 10 | 300 | 50000 |
| 3 | 20 | 100 | 10000 |
| 1490000 |
Desired output
| Desired output | |||
| id1 | id2 | value | sqvalue |
| 1 | 10 | 300 | 90000 |
| 1 | 20 | 700 | 490000 |
| 2 | 20 | 600 | 360000 |
| 2 | 30 | 1300 | 1690000 |
| 3 | 10 | 300 | 90000 |
| 3 | 20 | 100 | 10000 |
| 2730000 |
is there a way to set precedence on calculation?

Hi, @Anonymous
Based on your description, you may create a measure as below. The pbix file is attached in the end.
Result =
var tab =
SUMMARIZE(
'Table',
'Table'[id1],
'Table'[id2],
"diff",SUM('Table'[difference ])
)
var newtab =
ADDCOLUMNS(
tab,
"sqdiff",
POWER([diff],2)
)
return
SUMX(
newtab,
[sqdiff]
)
Result:

Hi @Anonymous ,
Create a measure.

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution! Appreciate with a Kudos!! (Click the Thumbs Up Button)
why does the total mismatch?
Another example:
input:
| id1 | id2 | value1 | value2 | difference | diff_sq |
| 1 | 10 | 100 | 50 | 50 | 2500 |
| 1 | 10 | 200 | 40 | 160 | 25600 |
| 1 | 20 | 300 | 50 | 250 | 62500 |
| 1 | 20 | 400 | 30 | 370 | 136900 |
| 2 | 30 | 300 | 20 | 280 | 78400 |
| 2 | 20 | 600 | 40 | 560 | 313600 |
| 2 | 30 | 200 | 20 | 180 | 32400 |
| 2 | 30 | 800 | 50 | 750 | 562500 |
| 3 | 20 | 100 | 50 | 50 | 2500 |
| 3 | 10 | 200 | 20 | 180 | 32400 |
| 3 | 10 | 100 | 40 | 60 | 3600 |
PBI output
| Desired | |||
| id1 | id2 | difference | diff_sq |
| 1 | 10 | 210 | 44100 |
| 1 | 20 | 620 | 384400 |
| 2 | 20 | 560 | 313600 |
| 2 | 30 | 1210 | 1464100 |
| 3 | 10 | 240 | 57600 |
| 3 | 20 | 50 | 2500 |
now power bi adds 2500+25600 = 28100 instead of 210^2 = 44100
