I have 3-4 tables which are joined together    Table1 ---- Table 2 Table1 --- Table 3   Both relationships are 1:1 and filters both ways. What is a better way to do something like this. It does ...

    This returns a table which can't be the final result of a measure. You would have to create a new table with this formula or do a calculation over it:

     

    SUMX(
     Filter(
        SUMMARIZE(
          FILTER(TABLE1, Related(TABLE2[DATE]) > TODAY() - 16, RELATED(TABLE3[COLUMN1] = "CLOSED") ,
          TABLE1[column1],
          TABLE2[column1]),
        TABLE2[DATE] > TODAY() - 15, RELATED(TABLE3[COLUMN1]) = "SETTLED"),
    SUM([anycolumn])
    )

Thanks for the reply. I'll remodel my solution with Filter

 

APologies I made a mistake with the filter. 

First filter

                FILTER(TABLE1, TABLE2[DATE] > TODAY() - 16, TABLE2[COLUMN1] = "CLOSED")

   Second Filter

           FILTER(TABLE1, TABLE2[DATE] > TODAY() - 16, RELATED(TABLE3[COLUMN1] = "SETTLED")

 

Basically I am modelling this subquery 

 

Select t.column1, t.column2, t1.column3, t2.column1, t3. column1

from t3 inner join t2

inner join (

            Select 

          table1.column1, table1.column2, table2.column1

             from 

            table1 inner join table2

              on some id

               where

               table2.date > currentdate - 16

                and 

             table2.cat = closed) t1

where

t2.date > currentdate - 15 and t3.cat = settled

A little confused for the need of the sub query when you could just throw the conditions all in just one where clause. 

 

However, you can continue nesting the Filter and Summarize statement in another Filter Statement as so if needed:

Filter(
  SUMMARIZE(
      FILTER(TABLE1, Related(TABLE2[DATE]) > TODAY() - 16, RELATED(TABLE3[COLUMN1] = "CLOSED") ,
      TABLE1[column1],
      TABLE2[column1]),
   TABLE2[DATE] > TODAY() - 15, RELATED(TABLE3[COLUMN1]) = "SETTLED")

    Thanks again, 

     

    the inner query yields CLOSED accounts. use this as table and join to a couple more tables to get the Settled accounts. the settled filter comes from a totally different table. hope I am making sense. 

     

    I am not getting the numbers right, not sure What i am doing wrong. 

     

    Filter(
      SUMMARIZE(
          FILTER(TABLE1, Related(TABLE2[DATE]) > TODAY() - 16, RELATED(TABLE3[COLUMN1] = "CLOSED") ,
          TABLE1[column1],
          TABLE2[column1]),
       TABLE2[DATE] > TODAY() - 15, RELATED(TABLE3[COLUMN1]) = "SETTLED")

    if i try the above format, it says a single value for D_CAL cannot be determined and this can happen when measure is not defined without aggregation error.
