How can I create a dynamic summary table to include in a DAX measure?
I'm trying to create a calculated table that responds to slicer(s) selections and sums spend, grouped by FiscalYear. I want to use columns from this table as arguments to the XIRR function.
I think I could do this if with one table but the columns I need are in different tables in my model. I have a fact table with figures for spends for the next 50 years for about 100 projects:
ProjectCode FiscalYear Spend 1 2019 300000 1 2020 150000 1 2021 25000 2 2019 100000
I have a project attribute table with the dimensions I wish to slice:
ProjectCode Region Type 1 North Buyout 2 South Bank account 3 East Mortgage 4 West Rent
I've tried a calculated table:
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(FACT[FiscalYear],"Total Cashflow", SUM(FACT[Spend]))
This does produce the result I want but it doesn't change in response to slicers. For example, if I slice on Region = North, I would expect to see the summary table for ProjectCode = 1 only but it still summarises all the data.
I am not fully understanding the syntax I think. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Anonymous ,
The cause is as what amitchandak said.
You can try to create a measure and then create a table visual.
Total Cashflow = SUM(FACT[Spend])Best Regards,

Anonymous , once you create a table it will not respond to the slicer. Only a table inside measure formula as a variable respond to slicer changes
