Sales by specific dimension
Hi everyone!
I'm not sure if the subject of the message is the best, but here is the situation. I'm struggling with measures of sales filtering dimensions of the facts table.
I have a report were I show the sales by Zona-Gestión. But, a specific value of the report has to be calculated by Pais. The relation between Zona-Gestión and Pais is many-to-many.
I tried 2 things:
1 - Made a reference of main sales table and grouping this new table leaving only the dimensions that I'm interested in. In this case, I was able to calculate the measure that I need but is not responding to the filters of the report.
2 - Migrated all those measures from previous table to the main sales table. In this case, I'm not getting the sales by Pais.
Let me show you what I had done:
The mesaure with sales by Pais from the grouped table is:
MLPais = CALCULATE( SUM( 'Devaluación País'[ML] ); USERELATIONSHIP( 'Devaluación País'[IdPais]; 'País'[IdPais] ) )
The meaure of sales by Pais from main sales table is:
MLPais 2 = CALCULATE( SUM( 'Ventas Mensuales'[ML] ); USERELATIONSHIP( 'Ventas Mensuales'[IdPais]; 'País'[IdPais] ) )
First mesaure, MLPais, is working as I want, showing the total sales by Pais of the selected period for each ZonaGestion. So, in this case, I have:
| IdPais | IdZonaGestion | Sales |
| ARG | ARG-POE | 500 |
| ARG-RAY | 500 | |
| TOTAL | 500 |
The only problem with it, is that I need it to be dynamic to the selections of the slicers in the report.
Second mesaure, MLPais 2, is not working as spected. It shows sales separatly by ZonaGestion and not summarized by Pais:
| IdPais | IdZonaGestion | Sales | Sales |
| ARG | ARG-POE | 500 | 280 |
| ARG-RAY | 500 | 220 | |
| TOTAL | 500 | 500 |
In the first scenario, the final grouped table is named "Devaluación País", as you can see in the pics. It has innactive relationships. I can't activate them because of the cross filter option used for the relationships of main sales table, "Ventas Mensuales". Since I need them to be like this, with a "both" cross filter direction, I assume that maybe this isn't the best way to work this out.
That's way I tried second option, using those measures in "Ventas Mensuales", making the necessary adjustments. But, in this case, I can't even get the sales by Pais.
Any help will be welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Anonymous,
Would you please create some sample data model and share the report for us to test?

Hi v-qiuyu-msft
Thanks for your reply!
I was able to figure it out. I used the first scenario, using a grouping table of the main facts table, leaving only the dimensions that I wanted. The update whas in the mesaure. To make it dynamic to the slicers of the report, the following changes made it work:
MLPais = CALCULATE( CALCULATE( CALCULATE( CALCULATE( CALCULATE( SUM( 'Devaluación País'[ML] ); USERELATIONSHIP( 'Devaluación País'[IdPais]; 'País'[IdPais] ) ); USERELATIONSHIP( 'Devaluación País'[IdAreaTerapeutica]; 'Área Terapéutica'[IdAreaTerapeutica] ) ); USERELATIONSHIP( 'Devaluación País'[IdLinea]; 'Linea Comercial'[IdLinea] ) ); USERELATIONSHIP( 'Devaluación País'[IdFamilia]; 'Familia'[IdFamilia] ) ); USERELATIONSHIP( 'Devaluación País'[IdCanal]; 'Canal'[IdCanal] ) )
This way is working perfectly as I needed to.
Greetings!
