    Hi lastnn30 , 

    Please refer to my pbic file to see if it helps you.

    Create a column firstly.

    Column = CALCULATE(MAX(DTable1[Region]),FILTER((DTable1),DTable1[SalesRep]=EARLIER(FactTable[SalesRep])))

    Then create a measure.

    Measure 3 = CALCULATE(SUM(FactTable[Revenue]),FILTER(ALL(FactTable),FactTable[Column]=SELECTEDVALUE(FactTable[Column])))

    If I have misunderstood your meaning, please provide your desired output with more details.

     

    Best Regards

The issue is that your Revenue is set to text data type. In the query editor, change it to a numeric data type and the option to summarize it with a sum will appear. However, I encourage you to create a simple measure with the SUM function instead.

    Thank you for your reply. Could you please explain how to create a measure with the SUM? Thanks again.
