Combining measures

Hi,

I have 2 measures as follows,

Debit  =

SUMX (
    SUMMARIZE (
        RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS,
        RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS[As of Date],
        RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS[account_cd],
        "TotalCount", if([Sum-Amount]>0,[Sum-Amount],blank())
    ),
    [TotalCount]
)
 
Credit =
SUMX (
    SUMMARIZE (
        RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS,
        RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS[As of Date],
        RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS[account_cd],
        "TotalCount", if([Sum-Amount]<0,[Sum-Amount],blank())
    ),
    [TotalCount]
)
 
I want them to be combined into a single measure.
Can this be done?

@Anonymous , Not very clear Try like

 

SUMX (
SUMMARIZE (
RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS,
RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS[As of Date],
RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS[account_cd],
"TotalCount", [Sum-Amount]
),
[TotalCount]
)
or
SUMX (
SUMMARIZE (
RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS,
RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS[As of Date],
RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS[account_cd],
"TotalCount", abs([Sum-Amount])
),
[TotalCount]
)

I'll make it more clear. Created a measure

Sum-Amount = SUMX (
    SUMMARIZE (
        RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS,
        RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS[As of Date],
        RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS[account_cd],
        "TotalCount", Sum(RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS[Amount])
    ),
    [TotalCount]
)
Next i need division of this measure >0 and < 0 which should be categorized as Debit and Credit respectively. Right now i'm using 2 measures as mentioned in my previous post. Is there a way that i can calculate this Debit/Credit using a single measure?

Here is one way that might work for you.

 

Credit Debit Ration =

var summarytable = SUMMARIZE (
        RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS,
        RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS[As of Date],
        RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS[account_cd],
        "TotalCount", Sum(RP_TR_TRANSACTION_DETAILS[Amount])
    )

var credit = SUMX (
    Filter(summarytable,[TotalCount] >0)
    [TotalCount]
)

var  = debit = SUMX (
    Filter(summarytable,[TotalCount] <0)
    [TotalCount]
)

return credit/debit

 

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

Regards,

Pat

Thank you for the DAX. But its not working as expected. The values are way off the actual values.

 

Is there any other way in which i can combine both the measures (Credit or Debit) into a single ome.

Any help would be appreciated.
