Use the oddly named function "SUMMARIZE":

 

Table = SUMMARIZE('Table',[Week No.],"Effort (by hours)",SUM([Effort (by hours)])

I have a similar issue but I'd like to bring all the rest of the columns from my original table into the summarized table.  I see that I can list them individually.  Is there a command that will bring them all?

Hi again!

there is an oprion to summerize by two categories?

For example, by WW and by Type (imagine there is another column named Type and describing for each line if it's type a or type b).

 

Nevermind, i figured it out! thanks again!! 🙂

How did you do that? As i would like to sumarise based on two colomns.

Hi Greg!

 

Thank you for responding 🙂

i'm new at PBI and don't have much experience so it might be a weird question but -

where should i insert the line you wrote? 

I had this same question.

 

It's under the 'Modeling' tab, 'New Table'

 

I followed the instructions here:
