Split and Summarize data

Hi,

 

Just can't find this specific issue when searching the forum. Hope anyone can help me!

Here is what I got:

 

Table 1 = Score table with scoring per person and per question, where the question has a unique identifier.

Table 2 = People Table with the name and department

Table 3 = Question table with the questions and some dimensions to that.

The scoring (Table 1) has two different dimension; 
-Scoring per Importance
-Scoring per Performance

What I want to achieve:
To have 1 column or measure that consolidates all the scoring for a specific Department.

This is the wanted end state. For me it really doesnt matter if its DAX or in the Query

Hello @tonijj ,


If you want to bifurcate score table you can create two calculated table as -

 

 

SummaryTable1HR = 
Filter(ADDCOLUMNS('Score Table',"_Dept",RELATED('People Table'[Department])),[_Dept]="HR")

 

 

 

SummaryTable1Dominance = 
Filter(ADDCOLUMNS('Score Table',"_Dept",RELATED('People Table'[Department])),[_Dept]="World Dominance dept")

 

 

Please mark it as solution if it resolved your issue. Kudos are also appreciated.

Hi @Shishir22 

Thanks, it doesnt quite solve my problem though with the two tables and result 🙂

1. The relationship is already there
2. I need two different tables for this solution, otherwise I wouldve gone ahead with a normal visual. However, I use Zoomcharts drilldown visuals and therefore I need to separate the datasets as described above.

Hello @tonijj ,

 

Step 1- Give relationship between score table and people table on name.

Step 2- Create 2 table visuals and apply visual level filter of departement from people table for HR and World Dominance Dept on respective tables.

 

You should get required output.

@Shishir22 

Thanks a bunch, that did the trick! 

I was going about this the wrong way, trying to use "summarize" or "summarizetable" then together with a filter. 

EDIT: Thankfully I didnt have more than 2 departments, otherwise this would have been...troublesome 😕 
Thanks again!
