Hi everyone 🙂
I want to create a measure to calculate total shipping costs, based on unique Order ID. I am using a star schema, so Order ID is not unique.
The main issue is Freight (shipping costs) is also not unique, so whenever I use SUM(), it sums everything, which is not what I want.
My attempt:
Total Freight := CALCULATE(SUM('Orders'[Freight], DISTINCT('Orders'[Order ID]) --which ended up being the same as SUM('Orders'[Freight])
I got $107K but should be getting $32K. Please help ^^'
I'll attach some screenshots.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Try this measure:
Total Freight =
SUMX (
DISTINCT('Orders'[Order ID]),
CALCULATE ( MAX( 'Orders'[Freight] ) )
)
