How do I add a calculated column that simply is the product of the values in two other columns (Qty on Hand X Unit Cost)? Seems like it should be easy enough to do, but I'm struggling with it... Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Load your PBIX, and go to your Data and go to the table where the columns are. Click "New Column" and enter the formula:
Inventory Cost =[Qty on Hand] * [Unit Cost]
@andre @Seth_C_Bauer Instead of calculated column can use Measure:= SUMX( TableName; TableName[Qty on Hand] * TableName[Unit Cost] ) so you can iterate the whole table like a calulated column.

Perfect. Thanks. That's simple enough. I was convinced that I had to use some type of built in function to do a calculation.
@Seth_C_Bauer i am afraid in this particular case your measure calc will not work. I am not a big fan of calculated columns but in this case, I think that smoupre's solution will work better.
@andre - Whoop, glossed over this one a little to quickly. Yep, you're right. Thanks for pointing this out.
you can do this by building up a final measure by utlizing two hidden measures.
Create and Hide these measures
Measure1 := SUM([Qty on Hand])
Measure2 := SUM([Unit Cost])
Final measure
Measure3 := Measure1 * Measure2
