Sum based on unique ID

Hi Guys,

 

I have a problem which shouldnt be that difficult to solve, but I'm new to DAX and can't handle it.

 

What I am searching for is the Sum of values based on a ID. 
Example:

ID | VALUE

1      1 

1      2 

2      3

2      3

3      4

3      1 

3      3

 

Result should be

ID 

1 =3

2 = 6

3 = 8

Hi,

 

Drag ID to the Table visual and write this measure

 

=SUM(Data[Value])

 

Hope this helps.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

One sample for your reference. Here I create a calculated table using the formula.

 

Table = SUMMARIZE(Table1,Table1[ID],"ID ",Table1[ID]&"="&SUM(Table1[VALUE]))

The result as below:

If it doesn't meet your requirement, please refer to Table2.

 

Table2 = SUMMARIZE(Table1,Table1[ID],"ID ",SUM(Table1[VALUE]))

For more details, please check the pbix as attached.

If you put it in a table in PowerBI you get your results right? Why do you need it in an aggregated format? It will do it at "run time"

 

 

Otherwise you can Add a table in PowerBI with the following DAX:

Table = SUMMARIZE(Sheet1; Sheet1[ID]; "Total Value"; sum(Sheet1[VALUE])) 

This code will return an aggregated table.

I would like to have it as a measure instead as a additional column in the table.. The GroupBy Function also doesnt work, it doesnt add the values though I selected it..

It is again a similar issue as below.

 

Please follow the below link, (Solution without using DAX)

Can you try the following code: 

 

SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(Tags[value], "ID", COUNT(Tags[value]))

Thanks for your answer. Im getting the following Error:

"The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple Columns cannot be converted to a scalar value"
