How to avoid SUM from one to many relationship tables

Hi,

 

I have a problem, I hope somebody can help me.

I have two tables:

 

Projects

IDName
1Project One
2Project Two
3Project Three

 

Invoice

IDProjectIDInvoice NumberAmount
111$100
222

$200

332$200

 

As you can see the relationship is 1:*, and there are invoices that correspond to many projects, in the example Invoice number 2. Obviosly The SUM in a Table in the report will be $500 because it is adding all the entries from the Invoice table. 

 

Is there any way to avoid it like grouping by Invoice number, because the correct SUM is only $300 because there is inly two invoices, but one of them is point to several projects.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Thanks.

Thankl you for your help! It doesn't work, but finally I solve it as follows:

AmountSum =
SUMX(
    KEEPFILTERS(VALUES(Invoice[Invoice Number])),
    CALCULATE(MAX(Invoice[Amount]))
)

@jareyesg , Create a measure like

sumx(summarize(Projects, Projects[ID],Invoice[Invoice Number], "_1", max(Invoice[Amount])),[_1])

 

I assume Projects and Invoice are joined

Hi @jareyesg 

 

You can create a reference table and group the table based on invoice to show max of invoce.
