yes, convert your path into a table variable and then use INTERSECT()

    Thank you lbendlin for your suggestion but it isn't working. Below is my code:

    Sum Amount:=
VAR SelectedLocations = 
SELECTCOLUMNS(
VALUES(DimLocation),
"LocationID", DimLocation[LocationID]+0 
)
VAR mytable =
SELECTCOLUMNS (
GENERATE (
ALL(DimLocation),
ADDCOLUMNS (
GENERATESERIES ( 1, PATHLENGTH ( [Calculated Path] ) ),
"PivotPath", PATHITEM ( [Calculated Path], [Value], 1 )
)
),
"LocationID", DimLocation[LocationID]+0,
"PivotPathKey", [PivotPath]
)
RETURN
CALCULATE ( 
SUM(FactAmount[Amount]), 
INTERSECT(mytable,SelectedLocations)
)

    This code gives me error.

    I used INTERSECT here, but it gives error since these 2 tables have different no. of columns. If i used NATURALINNERJOIN instead of INTERSECT, that gives an error as well.

     

    Can you suggest what else can be used in place of INTERSECT() ?

     

    Regards,

    Amar

      In the Intersect wrap your "myTable"  table into another SelectColumns() so that it matches the structure of the other table.
