Aggregation for category which doesn't appear at visual
Hi there,
I am trying to calculate the sum by category as I won't use this category in my visual, so I can't do it with :
Test= CALCULATE( sum('Table'[score]),ALLEXCEPT(table,'table'[abc_item_ID])).
Could this be accomplished without a calculated column?
Thanks a lot, Rita

Hi , could you please send us a sample table and your expected result?
Hello,
I have attached a picture of the data and the expected result.
For every OrdersCustomerItemId, I need to calculate the sum of POunitsQuantity without using OrdersCustomerItemId in the visual.
Right now I am using a calculated column with an earlier function, and I am wondering if there is a better way to accomplish this.
Thank you, RitaThanks for your assistance.
Are you sure that your solution is better than the calculated column I created:QTYbyCorder = sumx(filter('factOrdersPurchase',factOrdersPurchase[OrdersCustomerItemId]=EARLIER(factOrdersPurchase[OrdersCustomerItemId])),'factOrdersPurchase'[QTY])
Since this measure is one of many in this report, I don't need another table. However, I know that earlier is a very wasteful function, so I wondered if there was a way to calculate it with a measure using a virtual table.Hi Ritaf1983 ,

Hi Ritaf ,
Here are the steps you can follow：
1. Create calculated table.
Table 2 = SUMMARIZE('Table',[CusOrder],[PORDER],[Customer],[CatalogID],"TotalUnitsPurchased", SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[CatalogID]=EARLIER('Table'[CatalogID])),[POuniysQuantity]))2. Result:
