Calculation for multiple columns

Good day,

 

Could you please help me with the following issue:

 

I need to get the sum depending on worker's name or ID.

 

I have the following data representation in the Data Warehouse:

DateSwamperIDSwamperNameDriverIDDriverNameQty
1/1/20192Nate1John100
1/1/20194Nick2Nate200
1/1/20191John3Jack300
2/1/20196Den5Mike400
2/1/20192Nate7Doc500

 

People can be only drivers, only swampers or both drivers and swampers.

 

Note:DriverID = Swamper ID

 

I need to sum up their activities from both roles.

 

for e.g.:

Nate Qty = 100+200+500 = 800 (he was a swamper on 2 occasions and a driver on 1 occasion)

Den Qty = 400 (he was a swamper on 1 occasion)

 

NEEDED FORMAT 
NameQty sum of all activities per Name
Nate 
Nick 
John 
Den 
Jack 
Mike 
Doc

Hi @Anonymous 

You may new a table like below and create a column to get the Qty sum.Attached sample file for your reference.

Table = UNION(DISTINCT(Data[SwamperName]),DISTINCT(Data[DriverName]))
Column =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Data[Qty] ),
    FILTER (
        Data,
        Data[SwamperName] = 'Table'[SwamperName]
            || Data[DriverName] = 'Table'[SwamperName]
    )
)
