Measure Newbie

Hello all

 

Claus from Denmark here 🙂 

I am really new to DAX/measurement and are looking for the right function to make a measure on 2 colums. 1 column has "meters" and the 2 column i same row has a date. I am looking for the right measure for doing a summarized dates based on meters. 

 

Best Claus 🙂

Hi @Edske ,
Based on my understanding of your description, you are trying to get a new table containing the two tables you mentioned. If so, you can use the SUMMARIZE function to create a new calculated table. You can refer to this expression to see if it meets your requirements.

New table(Summarized Meters By Date) = 
SUMMARIZE(
    'Table',
    'Table'[Date],
    "Total Meters", SUM('Table'[Meters])
)

For more details about SUMMARIZE function you can refer to this document
SUMMARIZE function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn

The "Idriftsat måned" is date field and the "Tracé længde" are in meters.

 

Output should be a new Table with "Date" and summarized "Meters"

 

I hope this was what you meant by "Sample data"

You need to provide some sample data and your desired output. We cannot provide the DAX if there are no sample data.



Please mark my post as the solution if this answers your question!

Hello Daniel

 

My output should be a colum with dates and summarized meters. 

 

@Edske 

you just need to add the data to a visual,

and it will automatically summarize your data .

 

 

hope this helps .
