Data from table in text measure

Hi

 

I have a measure with the following text:

 

"The value of goods on sea is " & SUM([goodsonsea])

And further down

"The value of goods in purchase orders is " & SUM([purchaseorders])

In between the two lines I would like to list the data from this table:

 

SupplierWeekCll
Supplier1 426
Supplier2425
Supplier1 445
Supplier2503
Supplier3424
Supplier4444

 

The text could be something like
"In week 42 we receive 6 cll from Supplier1 and 5 cll from supllier2 ect."

"In week 44 we receive 5 cll from Supplier1 and 4 cll from Supplier4 ect"

and so on.

 

I hope this give you an idea of what it is I'm looking for.

 

Hope you can help 🙂

Thank you.

Hi @KLJ,

 

In Power BI desktop, you can create a calculated table below: 

 

Table = var temp= SUMMARIZE('Table1',Table1[Week],'Table1'[Supplier],"con",CONCATENATEX('Table1','Table1'[Cll],","))
return
ADDCOLUMNS(temp,"item",[con]&" cll from "& [Supplier])

 

Then create a measure: 

 

Measure 3 = var t=SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Week],"Detail",CONCATENATEX('Table','Table'[item]," and "))
return
CONCATENATEX(t,"In week " & [Week]& " we receive "&[Detail])

Hi Qiuyun Yu

 

Thank you for the solution.

That did it 🙂

 

I have added UNICAR(10) at the end of 

Measure 3 = var t=SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Week],"Detail",CONCATENATEX('Table','Table'[item]," and "))
return 
CONCATENATEX(t,"In week " & [Week]& " we receive "&[Detail] & UNICHAR(10))

then it worked out exactly as I wanted. 🙂

 

Thanks again

Kim
