I feel like I'm missing something simple, but is there a way to exclude overlapping values when you add measures together?
For example, if I have two separately defined measures:
Customer Hours:= CALCULATE([Hours], Table[Customer] = "Y")
Billable Hours:= CALCULATE([Hours], Table[Billable] = "Y")
& I want to add them together, how do I have the total not duplicate overlapping values where a line is both Customer and Billable?
This doesn't appear to work: CALCULATE([Customer Hours] + [Billable Hours])
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @ryan25r9
Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario.
Table:
You may create a measure as below.
Result =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Hours]),
FILTER(
ALLSELECTED('Table'),
'Table'[Customer Hours] = "Y"
)
)+
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Hours]),
FILTER(
ALLSELECTED('Table'),
'Table'[Billable Hours] = "Y"
)
)-
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Hours]),
FILTER(
ALLSELECTED('Table'),
'Table'[Customer Hours] = "Y"&&
'Table'[Billable Hours] = "Y"
)
)
Result:

Hi,
Assuming Hours is a measure calculated from a column in the 'Table' Table itself, write this measure
Measure = CALCULATE([Hours],Table[Billable] ="Y",Table[Customer] ="Y")
Hope this helps.
@ryan25r9, Try OR and AND depend on need
Customer Hours:= CALCULATE([Hours], filter(Table,Table[Customer] = "Y" || Table[Billable] = "Y"))
Customer Hours:= CALCULATE([Hours], filter(Table,Table[Customer] = "Y" && Table[Billable] = "Y"))
=Calculate( sum([Hours]),
Filter(All[Tablename],
Table[Customer] = "Y" &&
Table[Billable] = "Y"))
Try this and let me know if your problem is sorted out.
If this is the answer for you , please mentioned this is a soltuion and give me Kudos
