Simple calculation

[adavid999]

Hi,

Please could you remind how best to acheive this...I have table data and would like a new column or measure that shows sum of score for each question based on year, so total for question 1 would be 5, and question 2 would be 6, question 3 would be 8.

Thanks!

Question	Year	Score
1	2019	2
1	2018	3
2	2019	3
2	2018	3
3	2019	4
3	2018	4

Thanks @FrankAT I guess i should have been clearer - i need to be able to use the sum in another calculation.

Cheers,

@adavid999 - If you need the sum in a different calculation it would help to know the calculation. But, in general you could do something like:

Measure = 

  VAR __Table = SUMMARIZE('Table',[Question],"__Score",SUM([Score]))

RETURN

  <some calculation across __Table>

thanks @Greg_Deckler I will try this and if I don't get anywhere (likely) I will try and more clearly state what I am trying to acheive...

Just put Question in a table visualization along with Score and use default Sum aggregation for Score?

@adavid999 

If plot sum(Table[Score]) By question and year it should give you that

Or you want this year vs last year

This Year = calculate(Sum(Table[Score])filter(all(Table),Table[Year] =max(Table[Year])))
last Year = calculate(Sum(Table[Score])filter(all(Table),Table[Year] =max(Table[Year])-1))

Thanks for quick response @amitchandak . I need the result of sum for both years to be used in another calculation. There are many questions, with many different potential filters to view the scores. I'm not sure if plot sum(Table[Score]) will get me there, but will try.
