Hello,

I would like to Sum sale by filter other like this

CALCULATE(SUM(ZGI[sale]),FILTER(ZGI,(ZGI[model])=ZGI[model]))
I would like model from that row will filter other out and sum only this model.
but (ZGI[model])=ZGI[model] not working in column 
PS. I have to use in column not measure because I will use this column next.
Thank you

Hi @nontmn ,

Based on your original formula, I modified it to calculte the values. 

 

Column 4 = DIVIDE(CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[A]),FILTER('Table',EARLIER('Table'[model])='Table'[model])),'Table'[A])

Try following

 

=
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( ZGI[sale] ),
    FILTER ( ZGI, ( ZGI[model] ) = EARLIER ( ZGI[model] ) )
)

Thank you It's working but when I use in another column for sum another thing it show 

"a circular dependency was detected" 

I have to make fomular like this for 3 column

Please help

Thanks

Hi @nontmn 

 

What formula did you use?

If you could copy paste some sample data and expected results, it will help in finding an appropriate solution

 

As a sample see the below post

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/join-two-tables-and-find-min-after-doing-group-by/m-p/76893...

I use 

column1 = CALCULATE (SUM ( ZGI[sale] ),FILTER ( ZGI, ( ZGI[model] ) = EARLIER ( ZGI[model] ) ))

and next I create column 2 like this

column2 = CALCULATE (SUM ( ZGI[GI] )

It show "a circular dependency was detected:ZGI[GI],ZGI[sale],ZGI[GI]" 

@nontmn 

 

I don't see any error in your formula

Could you share your file?

 

What are you trying to achieve with

column2 = CALCULATE (SUM ( ZGI[GI] )

if your Table rows are different then above formula and column2 = ZGI[GI]  would yield same results

I create new file to compare issue at "Column 4"

@nontmn 

 

I checked your file.
What is your desired output in Column 4?

 

Actually, I have many version for one model so sometime I cannot indicate version, it has to share to other version.

My idea is create column that already shared sales by month and model but when I create another column with same method it show circular dependency detected(sum column[A]).

I already use measure method to share version but I found something wrong (subtotal sum up) . So I think it better to share before next calculation by measure.
