Calculate Branch Cost

[Anonymous]

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  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"))

 now I get the following error message:

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")

@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?
