Hello, I have the following model where I can't get the calculate function to work properly.
I am trying to calculate the sum of the Amount column in the ApplyMBI Payments table. My measure is:
total amount = CALCULATE(SUM('ApplyMBI Payments'[Amount]))
Any direction is appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello, you won't need a measure to sum a value in visualizations. When you add a "numeric" column to a visualization it has the possibility to sum, average, min, max, etc.
Let's asume you need to create the measure anyway. The calculate is not necessary you can just SUM('ApplyMBI Payments'[Amount]). Calculate is for hard calculation.
Regards,
Happy to help!
Hi @johnchill,
In my opinion, it seems that you want to sum all of the 'ApplyMBI Payments'[Amount], right?
You can consider adding ALL() or ALLSELECTED() function inside of the CALCULATE(). See:
total amount = CALCULATE(SUM('ApplyMBI Payments'[Amount]), ALL('ApplyMBI Payments'))

You will have to clarify what is not working.
While the CALCULATE isn't needed, it shouldn't really hurt you either.
total amount = SUM('ApplyMBI Payments'[Amount])
That is totally correct...
