Hi, how can I change the total in the Family Payment column to show £7045.38, not "260.94? The measure for this column is:
Family_Payment = CALCULATE( SUM( 'Table1'[Amount] ), 'Table1'[Desription] = "Family Payment" )
Thanks
Hi @RichOB ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
After thoroughly reviewing the details you provided, I try to workon my end. I have used some sample data on my end and successfully implemented it.
I am also including .pbix file for your better understanding, please have a look into it:
Hope this resolves your issue. Please feel free to reach out for any further questions.
Thank you
Hi Ivanka, thanks for your reply. For some reason, i'm unable to add a pbix file, but here is how the table data is arranged from the source:
Here is the government payment measure that splits up the monthly payment per week:
Government_Payment_Needed = VAR _Week = MAX( 'Table1'[Week Number] ) VAR _LastGovPaymentWeek = CALCULATE( MAX( 'Table1'[Week Number] ), 'Table1'[Desription] = "Government Payment", 'Table1'[Week Number] <= _Week ) VAR _LastGovPayment = CALCULATE( MAX( 'Table1'[Amount] ), 'Table1'[Desription] = "Government Payment", 'Table1'[Week Number] <= _LastGovPaymentWeek ) VAR _Return = _LastGovPayment / 4 RETURN _Return
Here's the week number measure:
Week Number (FY) =
VAR CurrentDate = 'Table1'[Date]
VAR FYStart =
DATE(
YEAR(CurrentDate) - IF(MONTH(CurrentDate) < 4, 1, 0),
4,
1
)
RETURN
INT( ( CurrentDate - FYStart ) / 7 ) + 1
Thanks!
Hi... this look strange, because formula looks OK.... so problem would be probably somewhere on model level.... can you share your pbix file?... or what is the formula for Government payment?... do you have data in Table1 aggregated by year week?.... to me it looks like that week specification in Table1 is missing, therefore for every week and also for total just same amount is used.
