Sum Subtotals

I’m having trouble to sum totals of subcategory

 

I have two tables.

1. A table that defines unique FaceBook pages names (repository)[Page] and the name of the person responsible for the page(repository)[RESP CONTENT]

 

repository

 

|   Page       |  RESP CONTENT |
---------------------------------
|   P1          |      RESP1             |
|   P2          |      RESP1             |
|   P3          |      RESP2             |
|   P4          |      RESP2             |
|   P5          |      RESP3             |
|   P6          |      RESP5             |
|   P7          |      RESP5             |
|   P8          |      RESP5             |
|   ....           |         .....               |

 

2. A table of the number of likes(FaceBook)[Likes] and followers(FaceBook)[Followers] per week (FaceBook)[Date]. The join with the (repository)table is done with the (FaceBook)[Page]

 

FaceBook

 

|   Page       |  Likes      |   Followers    |  Date          |

------------------------------------------------------

 | P1            |      32     |         50        |   2021-02-02

 | P1            |      40     |         60        |   2021-02-09

 | P1            |      70     |         100      |   2021-02-16

 | P2            |      80     |        150       |   2021-02-02

 | P2            |      90     |         250      |   2021-02-09

 | P2            |      150   |         350      |   2021-02-16

 | P3            |      10     |         50        |   2021-02-02

 | P3            |      32     |         50        |   2021-02-09

 | P3            |     50      |         80        |   2021-02-16

 

 

What I am expecting are results like:

RESP CONTENTLast LikesLast FollowersCommunity
-  RESP1  220  450335
      P1  7010085
      P2 150350250
-  RESP2 50 4045
     P3504045
..................
Total270490380

 

With :

Last Likes =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( FaceBook[Likes] ),
LASTNONBLANK ( FaceBook[Date], SUM ( FaceBook[Likes] ) )
)
 
Last Followers =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( FaceBook[Followers] ),
LASTNONBLANK ( FaceBook[Date], SUM ( FaceBook[Followers] ) )
)
 
COMMUNITY = IF(
COUNTROWS(VALUES(repository[Page]))=1,
DIVIDE([Likes Rank] + [Followers Rank],2),
SUMX(repository[Page], DIVIDE([Likes Rank] + [Followers Rank],2))
)

 

for community measure SUMX can't give me the right result !!

I try :

SUMX(values(repository[Page]), DIVIDE([Likes Rank] + [Followers Rank],2))

SUMX(allselected(repository[Page]), DIVIDE([Likes Rank] + [Followers Rank],2))

 

nothing works!

 

Please, any help?

Thank's in advance

Hi @SoufTC ,

 

I find a "mistake". Please let me know if this affects your calculations.

 


 

FaceBook

 

|   Page       |  Likes      |   Followers    |  Date          |

------------------------------------------------------

 | P1            |      32     |         50        |   2021-02-02

 | P1            |      40     |         60        |   2021-02-09

 | P1            |      70     |         100      |   2021-02-16

 | P2            |      80     |        150       |   2021-02-02

 | P2            |      90     |         250      |   2021-02-09

 | P2            |      150   |         350      |   2021-02-16

 | P3            |      10     |         50        |   2021-02-02

 | P3            |      32     |         50        |   2021-02-09

 | P3            |     50      |         80        |   2021-02-16

 

 

What I am expecting are results like:

RESP CONTENT Last Likes Last Followers Community
-  RESP1   220   450 335
      P1   70 100 85
      P2  150 350 250
-  RESP2  50  40 45
     P3 50 40 45
.... ..... .... .....
Total 270 490 380

 


The "Last Followers" for "P3" should be "80", instead of "40". And then the "Community" should be "65". Right?

And based on my test, no need to use SUMX in your sample.

Community 3 =
DIVIDE ( [Last Likes] + [Last Followers], 2 )

 

For more details, please check the attached .pbix file.
