    If that other table with Asset column is on the side of the relationship, then you can simply add it as GROUPING Column

     

    =
SUMMARIZE (
    'Visibility Data - All Regions',
    'Visibility Data - All Regions'[Region],
    'Visibility Data - All Regions'[Group],
    'Visibility Data - All Regions'[Category],
    'Visibility Data - All Regions'[Sub Category],
    OtherTableName[AssetColumn],
    "Revised Spend (USD)", SUM ( 'Visibility Data - All Regions'[Revised Spend (USD)] )
)

Hi Zubair,

 

Thanks for the quick response but I tried that and I get the issue "The column 'Facility / Asset Name' specified in the 'SUMMARIZE' function was not found in the input table."

 

FYI - the data already being summarized is linked to the table containing Facility / Asset Name but on another column.

 

Any ideas?

      Hi Zubair,

       

      Afraid I cannot as the data is very sensitive client data.

       

      I have a main fact table containing the Region, Category, and Spend, as well as Cost Centre, I then have a seprate mapping table to map the Cost Centres to Assets. The same aggregation works fine in a front end chart not sure why I am getting this error when doing it in DAX.

       

      Thanks,
      TG

        Hi Anonymous,

         

        Is the column in the ONE side of the relationship? If so, you can add it in summarize without any errors. Can you share a DUMMY sample that can reproduce the issue?

         

         

        Best Regards,
        Dale
