Sum a multiplication with if

Hi everyone,    I am a newbie at Power BI, very used to Qlik but have to change software.  I have an issue with a formula of that type : sum(quantity*if(cost_a<>0;cost_a;cost_b)). To do that, I ha...

    Anonymous Try like. maxx

     sumx(SUMMARIZE(ARTICLES;ARTICLES[ART_code];"M1";maxx(ARTICLES;if('ARTICLES'[ART_PRI]<>0; 'ARTICLES'[ART_PRI];'ARTICLES'[ART_PRI_Exact]));
 "M2";sum('TRANSACTION'[V_qte]));[M1]*[M2])

Try combine with your actual model, I am not clear of how is your model looks like but try something like this:

 

 

Measure = 
var costtable = SUMMARIZE('Transaction','Transaction'[ART_code], 'Transaction'[Product], 'Transaction'[Client Type],'Transaction'[Cost a], 'Transaction'[Cost b],"Cost", IF('Transaction'[Cost a]<>0,'Transaction'[Cost a],'Transaction'[Cost b]))

Return SUMX(ALLEXCEPT(costtable,[product],[client type]),'Transaction'[Quantity]*[Cost])

 

The idea is create a column of actual cost, you can store it in the measure like above using Summarize, or just create a calculated column in the transaction table: 

 

cost column= IF('Transaction'[Cost a]<>0,'Transaction'[Cost a],'Transaction'[Cost b])

measure = SUMX(ALLEXCEPT('Transaction',[product],[client type]),[Quantity]*cost column)

Hi Anonymous , 

 

thank you for your answer, I get your idea, but why should I need to create a new table to be able to perform that formula or create a new column in the original table ? I think it complexifies the model by repeating a piece of information already existing. in Qlik, the formula is as follow : 

sum({$<V_annee={'$(=max(CalendarYear))'},V_type={'*vente*'}>}V_qte*if(ART_PRI<>0,ART_PRI,ART_PRI_Exact))

without any addition to the tables I have nore any new table (even temporary).

If I have no other choice, I will create a new column in my table ARTICLES, but I rather won't.

 

Thank you very much for your help !
