Issues with repeating values and dates

[jarwest]

Hey all, I'm dealing with an issue involving repeating values and calculating totals.

To summarize the problem, I need to get the sum of a certain value by date. In the data, there are multiple entries for each date split up between 3 smaller categories. Each entry in those categories contains the value I need to use to get the sum repeated a number of times. For example, I've put a similar table below with the same problem, for one date. For this specific example, I would want the outcome to be 12 (7+2+3). If I just grabbed the sum of the column, I would get 39 (7*3 + 2*3 + 3*4).

Date         Group      Value

3/11          A               7

3/11          A               7

3/11          A               7

3/11          B               2

3/11          B               2

3/11          B               2

3/11          C               3

3/11          C               3

3/11          C               3

3/11          C               3

How can I get all distinct values for the values column by date in a way that I can take the sum of those distinct values by date?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@jarwest I used a simple table visual and dropped all the columns on values, along with new measure and that's it.

I found my issue. I made it as a new column instead of a new measure. This solution is working correctly, thank you!

@jarwest based on the sample data you provided and if I use the measure that I gave to you, I get the correct result, see Total Value column in the image below:

How did you get the data from multiple repeating columns to summarized rows like that? My original sample data had 10 rows, your final results has 3.

@jarwest try this measure

Total Value = 
SUMX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Date], Table[Group], "@Value", MAX ( Table[Value] ) ), [@Value] )

I'm making sure I applied it correctly, but it does not seem to have worked. I'm getting a value that is in the thousands, when my value isn't even in the hundreds. My end goal is a table where I can display the value for each day alongside the date.
