Multiply columns

I need to multiply 2 different columns; hours and rate per hour. The issue here is that I have different rates for different ranks and each project is the sum of the multiplication of hours at different rates.

 

I have achieved to calculate the total price when I show the maximum detail.

 

E.g. R1 x hours

       R2 x hours

      R3 x hours

 

With the code

 

Valorizado = SUMX(ARMS,ARMS[total]) * SUMX(PL,PL[Person Billing Rate])

 

Where ARMS are the hours per project.

 

This works fine when I show the whole detail, but when I want to show only the information by project, what the code understands is the following:

 

Sum( R1 +R2+R3) x Sum(hours)

 

Please I need help with this!

Hi @gbarredap,

 

If I understand you correctly, there is a relationship between ARMS and PL, to calculate multiplication then add total, you can create a measure in PL table like below:

 

Measure 2 = SUMX('PL',PL[Person Billing Rate]*RELATED(ARMS[total]))

If the above measure doesn't work, please share some sample data and expected results for our analysis.
