Calculate Branch Cost

Hello
 
I'm trying to sum up the values for different Dimension within the the GL Entry table.
As I'm new to Power BI i think i don't use the correct Filter function or there is a smoother way to get
to the result. All support is highly appreciated.
 
Total Branch Costs =
CALCULATE(SUM('AX$G_L Entry (2)'[Amount]),
FILTER('AX$G_L Entry (2)', 'AX$G_L Entry (2)'[Global Dimension 1 Code] = "SA"))
FILTER('AX$G_L Entry (2)', 'AX$G_L Entry (2)'[Global Dimension 1 Code] = "BM"))
FILTER('AX$G_L Entry (2)', 'AX$G_L Entry (2)'[Global Dimension 1 Code] = "CS"))

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Since I don't know what exactly the expected results you want. I list several cases.

    Sample data.

     

     

    1.Remove the concept of grouping and return the total for each row.

    Measure = CALCULATE(SUM('AX$G_L Entry (2)'[Amount]),ALLSELECTED('AX$G_L Entry (2)'))

     

    2.Summing by grouping [Global Dimension 1 Code], ignoring the context of the year.

    Measure 2 = CALCULATE(SUM('AX$G_L Entry (2)'[Amount]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('AX$G_L Entry (2)'),[Global Dimension 1 Code]=MAX('AX$G_L Entry (2)'[Global Dimension 1 Code])))

     

     

    3.If you only want to ask for the sum of part [Global Dimension 1 Code], you can write it like this

    Measure 3 = CALCULATE(SUM('AX$G_L Entry (2)'[Amount]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('AX$G_L Entry (2)'),[Global Dimension 1 Code]="BM"||[Global Dimension 1 Code]="CS"))

    Summing which [Global Dimension 1 Code] is "BM" or "CS".

     

    If the above cases is still not what you want, please provide some sample data and the desired result.

     

    Best Regards,

    Anonymous  try the below one!

    Total Branch Costs =
    CALCULATE(SUM('AX$G_L Entry (2)'[Amount]),
    FILTER('AX$G_L Entry (2)''AX$G_L Entry (2)'[Global Dimension 1 Code] = "SA")&&
    FILTER('AX$G_L Entry (2)''AX$G_L Entry (2)'[Global Dimension 1 Code] = "BM")&&
    FILTER('AX$G_L Entry (2)''AX$G_L Entry (2)'[Global Dimension 1 Code] = "CS"))

      Hi,

      Thanks for your input unfortunately I get the following error message:

      Filter been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed.

       

      Any hint on how to change the formula?

    Anonymous  I just forgot remove the other filters, use this code

    CALCULATE(SUM('AX$G_L Entry (2)'[Amount]),
    FILTER('AX$G_L Entry (2)'
    'AX$G_L Entry (2)'[Global Dimension 1 Code] = "SA")&&
     'AX$G_L Entry (2)'[Global Dimension 1 Code] = "BM")&&
    'AX$G_L Entry (2)'[Global Dimension 1 Code] = "CS"))

      Operator or expression '()' is not supported in this context.
       
      Total Branch Costs =
      CALCULATE(SUM('AX AG$G_L Entry (2)'[Amount]),
      FILTER('AX AG$G_L Entry (2)', 'AX AG$G_L Entry (2)'[Global Dimension 1 Code] = "SA")&&
      ('AX AG$G_L Entry (2)', 'AX AG$G_L Entry (2)'[Global Dimension 1 Code] = "BM")&&
      ('AX AG$G_L Entry (2)', 'AX AG$G_L Entry (2)'[Global Dimension 1 Code] = "CS")
