Calculate the sum of a measure by text field

[Leyla]

I have the list of Regions, functions, the related BPEs and values for the current and previous quarters. By using Measure I created formulas that first compare current vs previous quarter for values, if change happened then it assigns 1, if no change 0. The count of changes is stored as a Measure not as a column within the table. Now I want to summarise by Region and the function the number of changes, i.e. how many 1 I have for Region 1 and function1, then for Region2, function2, etc. As calculated measures are not tables I cannot use Sum formula as it requires to reference to the table but when I reference to a table it does not have the calculated leasure as a separate column to be chosen for summing. Currently the calculated Measure shows only 1 or 0 but I need the sum by Region and Function.

@Leyla,

Create the following measure in your table. If the DAX doesn't return your expected result, please share sample data of your table which we can copy and paste here. Also please post DAX formula of [Count any change] here.

Measure  =
SUMX (
    SUMMARIZE (
        'Append1',
        'Append1'[Regions],
        'Append1'[functions],
        "temp", [Count any change]
    ),
    IF ( ISERROR ( [temp] ), 0, [temp] )
)

Regards,
Lydia

Thanks a lot, this solved my problem. However, would be greatful if you could explain the meaning of "temp".
