Hello there,
I'm trying to replicate a function- SUMIFS from excel to Power BI.
I have the following Tables and i need to sum the Hours (Total Hours) based on the criterias.
Table 1:
| Stage Code | Stage | Band | Total Hours |
| 1 | Suspect | 250 | 50 |
| 1 | Suspect | 500 | 0 |
| 2 | In progress | 250 | 0 |
| 2 | In progress | 500 | 25 |
| 3 | Won | 250 | 28 |
| 3 | Won | 500 | 23 |
Table 2:
| Case | Hours | Stage Code | Band |
| AAAA | 20 | 1 | 250 |
| BBBB | 25 | 2 | 500 |
| CCCC | 23 | 3 | 500 |
| DDDD | 30 | 1 | 250 |
| EEEEE | 28 | 3 | 250 |
Formula used: =SUMIFS(Table2[Hours],Table2[Band],[Band],Table2[Stage Code],[Stage Code])
Please help me figure this out!!
Thanks

Solved! Go to Solution.
If you want the calculated column to be in Table 1, the tables need to be connected by a relationship. I would recommend you create a unique key for each stage and band combination so you can connect the tables.
Use the following as a calculated column in both tables.
StageBandKey = CONCATENATE ( Table1[Stage Code], Table1[Band] )
StageBandKey =
CONCATENATE ( Table2[Stage Code], Table2[Band] )
Then connect the tables via the relationship view using the shared key.
You'll then be able to use the previous code in a calculated column in Table 1 to get the hours for each stage - band combination.
Hi @swaroopkumarmg ,
You can create the measure “Total Hours” to meet your needs.
Total Hours =
VAR s =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Table2[Hours] ),
FILTER (
Table2,
Table2[Band] = MAX ( Table1[Band] )
&& Table2[Stage Code] = MAX ( Table1[Stage Code] )
)
)
RETURN
IF ( ISBLANK ( s ), 0, s )Then you can get result you want.

Try the following as a calculated column in Table 2:
Total hours column = CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table2[Hours] ), Table2[Band], Table2[Stage Code] )
Thanks a ton for your reply and suggestion.
I tried this, it did not give any error, but the Hours Column in the Table 1 is with blank values
Any suggestion?

That worked like a charm.
thanks a ton!! 🙂
