I need to sum values on a column based on multiple conditions on another column in the same table using DAX. For example, here is the table Bicycles:
ID Price Colour
1 10 Green
2 15 Red
3 12 Blue
4 10 Purple
5 12 Yellow
6 15 Magenta
7 12 Red
8 10 Blue
9 12 Teal
I want to summarize the price for all bicycles that are Red, Blue and Green. From the table above it would be 10+15+12+12+10 = 59.
If I want to summarize based on blue this formula works:
Sum of prices for popular colours = CALCULATE(SUM(Bicycles[Price]), FILTER('Bicycles', Bicycles[Colour] = "Blue"))
This also works:
Sum of prices for popular colours = CALCULATE(SUM(Bicycles[Price]), Bicycles[Colour] = "Blue")
However, I need need to add multiple or condions on the colour column to include the colours green and red. I have not been successful. I have tried the following but it does not return anything:
Sum of prices for popular colours = CALCULATE(SUM(Bicycles[Price]), FILTER('Bicycles', Bicycles[Colour] = "Blue"), FILTER('Bicycles', Bicycles[Colour] = "Red"), FILTER('Bicycles', Bicycles[Colour] = "Green"))
Is it possible to put the equivalent of an or condtion to filter on specific values of the same column? How can this be done?

Sum of prices for popular colours = CALCULATE(SUM(Bicycles[Price]), Bicycles[Colour] in { "Red", "Blue", "Green"})

I tried this solution for my own dataset but it didn't work. Would that be because my "red/green/blue" field comes from a drop-down list instead of direct entry?
That worked. Thanks.
