Calculation using multiple filtered values from same column

Hi

I am trying to calculte energy usage using filtered values from the same column.

this is the calcultion I am trying to resolve. 

I get the error below.

A function 'FILTER' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed.

 

Bondi Use = CALCULATE(
SUM(Energy[Value]),Filter(Energy,Energy[Meter]="CB0NCGN01N (MWh)")+
SUM(Energy[Value]),Filter(Energy,Energy[Meter]="NCCCX00017 (MWh)")+
SUM(Energy[Value]),Filter(Energy,Energy[Meter]="NCCCX00018-EXP (MWh)") -
SUM(Energy[Value]),Filter(Energy,Energy[Meter]="NCCCX00018-IMP (MWh)")
)

Hi,

I managed to get the correct result using variables. I am not sure if this is the most efficient way to do this.

 

Bondi Use =
VAR A = CALCULATE(SUM(Energy[Value]),Filter(Energy,Energy[Meter]="CB0NCGN01N (MWh)"))
VAR B = CALCULATE(SUM(Energy[Value]),Filter(Energy,Energy[Meter]="NCCCX00017 (MWh)"))
VAR C = CALCULATE(SUM(Energy[Value]),Filter(Energy,Energy[Meter]="NCCCX00018-EXP (MWh)"))
VAR D = CALCULATE(SUM(Energy[Value]),Filter(Energy,Energy[Meter]="NCCCX00018-IMP (MWh)"))
Return
CALCULATE(A+B+C-D)

Hi,

 

Try this measure

 

=CALCULATE(SUM(Energy[Value]),Filter(Energy,Energy[Meter]="NCCCX00018-IMP (MWh)"||Energy[Meter]="NCCCX00018-EXP (MWh)"||Energy[Meter]="NCCCX00017 (MWh)"||Energy[Meter]="CB0NCGN01N (MWh)"))

 

Hope this helps.

Hi Thanks for you help but the solutions only allow you to perform one function like SUM() or COUNT() for all of the filter results. I need to do something different with each filtered value like sum, divide, subtract, multiply. A + B + C x D

Hi @zenton,

 

If so, I'm afraid your solution could be the only choice. Maybe the plus parts (+) could be optimized. You can sum them together.

Hi @zenton,

 

Try these two formulas below please. You can use either of them according to your requirement.

Bondi Use =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Energy[Value] ),
    Energy[Meter]
        IN {
            "CB0NCGN01N (MWh)",
            "NCCCX00017 (MWh)",
            "NCCCX00018-EXP (MWh)",
            "NCCCX00018-IMP (MWh)" }
)

 

 

Bondi Use =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Energy[Value] ),
    FILTER (
        Energy,
        Energy[Meter]
            IN {
                "CB0NCGN01N (MWh)",
                "NCCCX00017 (MWh)",
                "NCCCX00018-EXP (MWh)",
                "NCCCX00018-IMP (MWh)" }
    )
)
