Create a new table from the Main Table with criteria

Hi,

 

I currently have this example Main table. I'm only using client A (there are hundreds) and certain countries/items to try and explain this better:-

I need to create a new table which shows the missing Items based on the data.  So the new table should look like this:-

Power_It_Up_1-1744799100522.png

 

So for England, it has added Item C and a zero because the item exists for Client A, but only for USA.

 

For USA, it has added Item B and Item D with zero's as these exist for England.

 

This methodology has to run through many clients and items and each client will have different countries and items associated to them.

 

Thank you in advance for any pointers. 🙂

You can use below DAX code to calculated table

 

ResultTable =

VAR ClientsCountries =

    SUMMARIZE(MainTable, MainTable[Client], MainTable[Country])

VAR Items =

    VALUES(MainTable[Item])

RETURN

    GENERATE(

        ClientsCountries,

        ADDCOLUMNS(

            Items,

            "AmountSold",

            CALCULATE(

                SUM(MainTable[AmountSold]),

                FILTER(

                    MainTable,

                    MainTable[Client] = EARLIER(MainTable[Client])

                        && MainTable[Country] = EARLIER(MainTable[Country])

                        && MainTable[Item] = EARLIER(MainTable[Item])

                )

            )

        )

    )

Thanks @pankajnamekar25 for the quick reply.  By switching [AmountSold] to "Don't Summarize" does the trrick.  How can I convert the blanks to a zero or even text?  Thank you again. 🙂

Edit: Please ignore. I changed this line of code:

Hi @pankajnamekar25 . 

 

I'm hoping you can direct me a little further with this as I need to add something.

 

This is the current code which you created for me and works brilliantly:-

ResultTable =

VAR ClientsCountries =

    SUMMARIZE(MainTable, MainTable[Client], MainTable[Country])

VAR Items =

    VALUES(MainTable[Item])

RETURN

    GENERATE(

        ClientsCountries,

        ADDCOLUMNS(

            Items,

            "AmountSold",

            CALCULATE(

                SUM(MainTable[AmountSold]),

                FILTER(

                    MainTable,

                    MainTable[Client] = EARLIER(MainTable[Client])

                        && MainTable[Country] = EARLIER(MainTable[Country])

                        && MainTable[Item] = EARLIER(MainTable[Item])

                )

            )

        )

    )

 

In the very first line SUMMARIZE(......), am I able to add fields from other tables which I have already created relationships for? 

 

Many thanks. 🙂
