Custom Sum based on matching column values
Hi All,
I have a single table where all sales records are kept.
there are 2 types of sales records in this table. Primary sales record have a [Main] attribute of "M", and sub-records have a [Main] attribute of "S". Primary Sales records can contain many sub-records.
unfortunately all these records are kept on a single table and the [cost] of primary records are missing.
I need to manually calculate the [cost] of primary records by suming up all sub-records. sub-records have the same [date],[user_id] and [type] as the primary record. (see exmaple below)
How can i write this measure as a new column
Hi Bokchoy
Use this to create a new column
Col Cost = CALCULATE(SUM([Cost]), FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Date] = EARLIER('Table'[Date]) && 'Table'[user_id] = EARLIER('Table'[user_id]) && 'Table'[Type] = EARLIER('Table'[Type])))Regards

Thank you sir, works perfectly 🙂
Hi Bokchoy
Use this measure
MCost = CALCULATE(SUMX('Table', [Cost]), FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[Date] = MAX('Table'[Date]) && 'Table'[user_id] = MAX('Table'[user_id]) && 'Table'[Type] = MAX('Table'[Type])))regards

Hi Philip,
This works perfect as a measure, but it doesnt seem to work as a custom column.
is there a way to achieve the same result while creating a new column?
