Dear All,
I do have a simple matrix in Power BI, where the values are taken from a measure. See below screenshot:
I want to create the column 'Total' with a DAX function as measure, too.
Question: how can I create a new measure which is a sum of the values in the measure number of orders shipped? (ranging from Jan to June in this example). Since this isn't column name / field, I cannot use for example the formula:
CALCULATE(SUM(table[number of orders shipped], ALL(table))
Any suggestion is welcome
Kind regards,
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
You need to create virtual table via SUMMARIZE() in measure to do that.
Total =
VAR _s =
SUMMARIZE (
'Table',
[customer number],
[customer name],
date[month],
"v_Number of orders shipped", [number of orders shipped]
)
RETURN
SUMX ( _s, [v_Number of orders shipped] )
Result:
If i missunderstood you, please let me know.
Pbix in the end you can refer.

Hi @Anonymous ,
You can try using CALCULATE( SUMX(Table,[number of orders shipped]), ALLEXCEPT(table,table'customer number'))
Thanks for this suggestion, but I am still struggling with the fact that Number of orders shipped is not a field name in table, but just a measure. The SUM or SUMX function does not work.
Hi @Anonymous ,
Assuming that you need the total of Number of orders shipped for each customer , you can try using below formula -
CALCULATE(SUM(table[number of orders shipped], ALLEXCEPT(table,table'customer number'))
Please accept the solution if this answers your query.
Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback and correctly understood regarding the number of orders shipped by customer number is required.
There is a challenge on the field Number of order shipped. It's not a field name in a table. It's a measure and there I cannot execute the first part of the formula (CALCULATE(SUM(table[number of orders shipped].......)
I am seeking for an alternative.
Thanks for any additional suggestion.
