Finding related subtotals

I have this issue where I cannot find the related subtotals.

I have a datasource with these three tables, with simplified contents here:

 

Project-Sales

- Project-ID

- Invoice-value

 

Project-Member

- Project-ID

- Person-ID

 

Persons

- Person-ID

- Name

 

I have set up relations

Project-Member to Project-Sales: Many to One

Project-Member to Persons: Many to One

 

Now I want to summarize the sales subtotal for each person, but summarizing like

CALCULATE(SUM(Project-Sales[Invoice-Value]))

Only gives me the Total of all projects. How can I make the summary only use the subtotals for each person?

As per your logic, I think it is simple to solve your problem per below measure,

Subtotal for Each =
    sumx(
        'Project-Member',
        related('Project-Sales'[Invoice-value])
    )
Let me know if it works.

Hi @JoaPalmer ,

 

You can try this method:

Sample data:

vyinliwmsft_0-1669692821066.png

In Project-Member table, new a measure:

Count = CALCULATE(COUNT('Project-Member'[Project-ID]), ALLEXCEPT('Project-Member','Project-Member'[Project-ID]))

Then new a table:

Average = SUMMARIZE('Project-Member','Project-Member'[Project-ID],'Project-Sales'[Invoice-value], "Count", [Count])

In Project-Member table, new a column:

Per = CALCULATE(SUM('Average'[AVG]), FILTER('Average','Average'[Project-ID] = 'Project-Member'[Project-ID]))

New a measure:

Rusult = CALCULATE(SUM('Project-Member'[Per]), FILTER('Project-Member','Project-Member'[Person-ID]))

The result is:

Hope this helps you.

Here is my PBIX file.

Thank You for your extensive reply. However the result calculation you suggest is not correct.

In Your example, person 1001 is a member of project ID 1, 3 and 4. Sum of sales for those project is 10+30+40=80, not 60 as your calculation shows.

 

I don't know if there is an misunderstanding. I just want to get the summaries for the projects for each person involved, I don't understand why I would want to count rows or make average calculations?

Please I'm happy for your continued help! 🙂

This was so much easier solution, thank You very much, works perfect! 🙂
