Hi
I have a table called Activity which contains activity types and time associated. I need to perform a sum based on 7 of these activity types
Table_Activity | |
Activity | Time_Mins |
HOLIDAY | 300 |
SICK | 200 |
BANK_HOL | 400 |
WORKING | 40000 |
COLLECTION | 2000 |
TRAVEL | 15000 |
DOCTORS | 120 |
FLEET | 800 |
TRAINING | 1200 |
DEPOT | 100 |
Here are the results I would exspect
SUM (HOLIDAY,SICK,BANK_HOL,DOCTORS,TRAINING,DEPOT) =3120 |
thank you

Solved! Go to Solution.
You can use the following measure for this:
Measure =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Time_Mins] );
'Table'[Activity] <> "WORKING"
&& 'Table'[Activity] <> "COLLECTION"
)
Kind regards

You could also add a Calculated Column to differentiate different groupings:
Category =
IF(
'Table'[Activity] IN {"HOLIDAY","SICK","BANK_HOL","DOCTORS","TRAINING","DEPOT"}, "In", "Out"
)
Whether you use a grouping or not, you'll probably want to use a Slicer visualization:
