How to filter data based om another filed in the database
Hello
I am new in this DAX language, so please help me.
I have at table it contains Amount and accountnumbers.
AcAm = Amount
AcNo = AcountNr
I want to sum(AcAM where AcNo >3000 and AcAm < 4000)
What is the syntax??

First, does this need to be hard-coded into a measure, or can you get away with using filters in your report?
If this needs to be in a measure, it's a simple call to CALCULATE():
Amount = SUM( 'MyTable'[AcAm] ) Filtered Amount = CALCULATE( [Amount] ,'MyTable'[AcNo] > 3000 ,'MyTable'[AcAm] < 4000 )CALCULATE() allows you to define simple predicates to filter expressions, or complex table expressions to define the context for the expression. All arguments 2-N of CALCULATE() are evaluated in a logical and.

Thank you for quick response!
I'm not shure aboat the hard-code ;)
But this measure, i write this in table view. I connect my table in SQL database (Tabel AcTr)
I make a new messure: Amount
I make a new colomn: Filtered Amount.
Is this correct?

Both of those that I gave you should be defined as measures. Measures can be used in any visualization.
