Problem with Measure

Hi, I have a simple question I am struggling with:
 
I have two tables which have proper relationship. One is for time booking, the other is for the headers of the time bookings (ProjectPositions).
 
I am of the opinion, I did a proper measure:
 
PT = CALCULATE(SUMX(employeeHrs, employeeHrs[Hrs]/8), dimProjects[InvoicingKey]="nA", employeeHrs[toInvoice]=TRUE)
 
However, when I add the field Abrechnung (=InvoicingKey) to my table, the one ProjektPosId gets repeated with multiple invoicing keys while there is only one row in the database.

It would be really nice if someone could help and explain to me what I am doing wrong.

 

Thx Christian

Hey @_chris_ !

Try the measure below.

PT = 

CALCULATE(

SUMX(employeeHrsemployeeHrs[Hrs]/8), 
FILTER(dimProjects, dimProjects[InvoicingKey]="nA"),
FILTER( employeeHrs, employeeHrs
[toInvoice]=TRUE)
)

Hi Marcel,

 

thanks a lot for your quick response. It works fine. I guess I have to go back and do my homeworks to understand why my solution did not work.

 

Thanks again!
