I need to be able to sequence my data using the current sequence - but totaling the "QuantityToBuild" column by grouping by the "Component" Column.
So in otherwords I would need sequence 1 and 2 to be labeled as "1", Component "2128", and the QuantityToBuild "336". The go to sequence "2", Component "631", QuantityToBuild "224", and so on..
Here is my data currently as is:
| Sequence | ItemNumber | Component | QuantityToBuild | Date |
| 1 | 178 | 2128 | 224 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 2 | 179 | 2128 | 112 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 3 | 2270 | 631 | 224 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 4 | 182 | 2128 | 56 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 5 | 183 | 2128 | 56 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 6 | 2271 | 631 | 224 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 7 | 8485 | 8489 | 112 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 8 | 8484 | 8489 | 504 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 9 | 181 | 2128 | 168 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 10 | 3108 | 924 | 90 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 11 | 6413 | 9452 | 56 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 12 | 3107 | 924 | 90 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 13 | 6412 | 9452 | 56 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 14 | 3109 | 924 | 30 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
Here is how I would hope my data would look:
| Sequence | Component | QuantityToBuild | Date |
| 1 | 2128 | 336 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 2 | 631 | 224 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 3 | 2128 | 112 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 4 | 631 | 224 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 5 | 8489 | 616 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 6 | 2128 | 168 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 7 | 924 | 90 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 8 | 9452 | 56 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 9 | 924 | 90 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 10 | 9452 | 56 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |
| 11 | 924 | 30 | 5/11/2020 0:00 |

Hi @Anonymous ,
We can create a calculated table to meet your requirement:
Table 2 =
VAR temp =
ADDCOLUMNS (
'Table',
"MinS",
VAR s = [Sequence]
VAR C = [Component]
RETURN
MINX (
FILTER (
'Table',
VAR c1 = [Component]
VAR s1 = [Sequence]
RETURN
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[Component] = c1
&& 'Table'[Sequence] <= s
&& 'Table'[Sequence] >= s1
)
) = s - s1 + 1
),
[Sequence]
)
)
RETURN
SELECTCOLUMNS (
SUMMARIZE (
temp,
[MinS],
"Sequence", RANKX ( temp, [MinS],, ASC, DENSE ),
"Component", MAX ( 'Table'[Component] ),
"QuantityToBuild", SUM ( 'Table'[QuantityToBuild] ),
"Date", MAX ( 'Table'[Date] )
),
"Sequence", [Sequence],
"Component", [Component],
"QuantityToBuild", [QuantityToBuild],
"Date", [Date]
)
By the way, PBIX file as attached.
Best regards,

Best regards,
click on the component field, then click on modelling table in your menu ribbon and under column tools click on sort by column, you can then use the sequence column to sort your component field
