Hi,
I have an Issue with getting the correct sum in a matrix. I think I neet to use sumx in some way but I am unable to get it working
ARTICLE | Sales Last Year | Sales this year | sales this year if there is sales both this and LY |
A | 100 | ||
B | 200 | 600 | 200 |
C | 200 | ||
Sum | 300 | 800 | 300 |
I am trying to get the red text to be 200. the formula I am using is "sales this year if there is sales both this and LY = IF([Local_fsg Last Year] = 0, BLANK(), [Local_fsg Current])"
I understand why it is not working but no mater what I do I either get the sum to be empty or it says 300 (as above)
can anyone please point me in the right direction?
thanks

Hi there PowerUser,
Thanks for taking time to look at my issue.
what I am lookin to do is to force the sum row to actually calculate the sum of the column. The value 200 I get in "sales this year if there is sales both this and LY" is correct but i want the sum row to actually do a sum, not the same formula as the detail rows
Is this more clear?
thanks and regards

Hi,
I am not sure that I understand the mathematical logic behind what you are trying to achieve here.
However, based on the name of your column, this would generate the answer:
