Comparing to a specific category

Hi,

 

Below is  sample of the data that I am working with up to the value column. I need a calculation that gives me the red value column. I.e. I need to sum each red value within each location and item to compare to the green and blue values.  Here is what I've tried, but it only gives me the red values for those rows that are red. 


CALCULATE (

    Sum(Value),

    FILTER (

        ALLNOBLANKROW ( 'sheet1'[Color] ),

        'sheet1'[Color] = "Red"

    )

)

Thanks for reaching out for help.

I put in a lot of effort to help you, now please quickly help me by giving kudos.

Remember we are unpaid volunteers and here to coach you with Power BI and DAX skills and techniques, not do the users job for them. So please click the thumbs up and accept as solution button. 

If you give someone a fish then you only give them one meal, but if you teach them how to fish then they can feed themselves and teach others for a lifetime.  I prefer to teach members on this forum techniques rather give full solutions and do their job. You can then adapt the technique for your solution, learn some DAX skills for next time and soon become a Power BI Super User like me. 

One question per ticket please. If you need to extend your request then please raise a new ticket.

You will get a quicker response and each volunteer solver will get the kudos they deserve. Thank you !

Hio @alexjaco ,

 

How about this:

And here the DAX code:

TomsCalculatedColumn = 
VAR _color = "Red"
VAR _location = data[Location]
VAR _item = data[Item]
VAR _redValue = CALCULATE ( VALUES ( data[Value] ), ALL ( data ),  data[Color] = _color, data[Location] = _location, data[item] = _item )
RETURN
CALCULATE ( _redValue, ALL ( data ), data[Location] = _location, data[item] = _item )    

 

Let me know if this helps 🙂
