    Hi MaxItaly,

     

    You need to create a new table with the following sintax:

     

    Table2 = SUMMARIZE(Table1,Table1[Client],"Quantit"y, SUM(Table1[Quantity]))

     

    You can also duplicate the table on the query editor and choose transform make a group by client and sum the quantity.

     

     

     


    Regards

    Woah: you opened me a new world!
    I was not aware of this.

    I am still figuring out where to write that syntax, but I managed, in the meanwhile, to do it thanks to the graphic commands.

    Many thanks!

      But just be aware that if you just want to summarize your table you don't need to do an additional table, you can use measures and visuals to give that result and only have 1 single table.

        I know it, but way too often the tables are not optimized for Business Intelligence operations   :(
