Don't summarize as a measure

Hi Guys,
From the table below, I want to have the same view in power bi table as it is here using a measure. I know that if there is only one value by date I could use "Max".

I want to know if it is possible to show all the value if there are many values for one date using a measure.

Using "selectedvalue" is not an option here, coz it will also be used in a bar chart.

Thank u

What do you want the measure to do? SUM, AVG. MAX, MIN, etc. A measure is not for listing a value from one row. It is a calculation to do some aggregation on the data.

If you use SUM(value), then you would have to list the unique columns (Primary Key) of the table to get one row per row in the table

@Bwendos_Den Typically one would use something like ADDCOLUMNS and SUMMARIZE where the ADDCOLUMNS would be your measure. If not that, I don't know what you want exactly. Sample data and expected output always helps.

 

Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
