Selective sum based on row type

***Sorry for the sloppy table format - seems like the forum changes it when I post...

 

 

Hi

I need to be able to sum values in a column, based on a TYPE attribute in the same row. However, I need to be able to "reset" my cumulative total every time a new "set" of values start.

 

My data looks like this:

DateTimeTypePickWeight
2022/11/04 12:00:00pick1.023
2022/11/04 12:00:12pick1.002
2022/11/04 12:00:24pick1.023
2022/11/04 12:00:36pick1.042

2022/11/04 12:02:36stack1.023
2022/11/04 12:02:48pick1.235
2022/11/04 12:03:00pick1.302
2022/11/04 12:03:12pick1.223
2022/11/04 12:03:24stack1.023
2022/11/04 12:03:36pick1.231
2022/11/04 12:03:48pick1.023
2022/11/04 12:04:00pick1.243
2022/11/04 12:04:12quality1.245
2022/11/04 12:04:24quality1.245
2022/11/04 12:04:36stack1.021
2022/11/04 12:04:48pick1.021

 

 

I have sorted the data sequentially, and there are various "TYPES" in the dataset.

A "set" are all the data entries between two "stack" types. I need to then get the total stack weight, which is the sum of all the "PickWeight" values, between two "stack" types.

 

So the column for "StackWeight" is what i need.

Hi @roelf ,

try this 

mangaus1111_0-1667553717398.png

Column = 
IF('Tabelle23'[Type] ="stack",
    SUMX(
        FILTER(
            'Tabelle23',
              'Tabelle23'[DateTime] <= EARLIER(Tabelle23[DateTime]) && 'Tabelle23'[Type] = "pick"
                        ),
                'Tabelle23'[PickWeight]
             )
)

Hi @roelf ,

I have created a simple sample, please refer to it to see if it helps you.

Create 2 columns first.

stack = IF('Table'[Type]="stack",0,1)

 

minflagdate = 
calculate(MIN('Table'[DateTime]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[DateTime]>=EARLIER('Table'[DateTime])&&'Table'[stack]=0))

 

Then create a measure.

Measure = var _1= CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[PickWeight]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[minflagdate]=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[minflagdate])&&'Table'[Type]="pick"))
return
IF(MAX('Table'[Type])="stack",_1,BLANK())

Thanks for the reply @mangaus1111 .

That partially answers my scenario, but as you can see the "Stack Weights" cumulate, example the second stack weight is  9.85, where it should have been 4.308. So I'm wondering if there is a way to substract a stackweight from a previous one ?
