Column Summary Ignoring Filters

I've found a few posts on here loosly related but none really seem to apply to my model so here we go:

 

I've got Two Tables. Let's call them Transactions and Prices. Their architecture is as follows

 

----------TRANSACTIONS----------

ID#   |   EntryDate   |   TYPE

A43  |   8/14/2021   |  New Business

A44  |   6/14/2021   |  Repeat Business

A45  |   7/01/2021   |  Repeat Business

A24  |   5/21/2021   |  New Business

 

 

--------------------PRICES--------------------

ID#             |   TRANSACTION-ID#   |   PRICE

B4153135   |               A43               |     100

B4153133   |               A44               |     500

B4153187   |               A45               |     200

B4153145   |               A24               |     100

 

The common link is Transaction[ID#] to Prices[Transaction-ID#]

No fields are measures and the are coming directly from an SQL database if that matters

 

I have a visualization that shows the values Transaction[ID#] and Prices[Price] which correctly displays in this fashion.

 

ID#   |   Price

A43  |   100

A44  |   500

A45  |   200

A24  |   100

Total     900

 

The problem is that when I apply any filter (I'm tyring to Filter Transactions[Type] and Transactions[EntryDate]), the rows are properly filtered however the total continues to show 900 as opposed to the filtered total.

 

Any help woud be great!

Hi, @millercj ;

According to your description, I tested it. First of all, I confirmed that the two tables are in Directquery mode. Secondly, if the two tables are not related, it will not work. There must be a relationship. The filtering direction is best to be bidirectional, as follows:

vyalanwumsft_0-1629164234965.pngvyalanwumsft_1-1629164268944.png

The final output is shown below:

vyalanwumsft_2-1629164294568.pngvyalanwumsft_3-1629164310298.png

If it still does not solve your problem, can you share more scenes or information about your table?

Hi,

Create a third table with a single column which lists down all unique ID's from both tables.  Create a relationship between from the ID column of both tables to the newly created third table.  To your visual, drag ID from the third table.  Write this measures:

Measure = sum(Prices[Price])

Hope this helps.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Looks like chaning "Cross Filter" to "Both" is what made the difference
