Sum by Group - output question
Hi 🙂
I have a fairly simple question - tried searching but my answer may be lost in the countless posts on this.
I have a table that contains purchase orders, and each row is one line of each purchase order. I want to calculate the total of each purchase order as a whole.
Is there a way to group by each PO, and then save the output either as adding a new column, table, or a measure that I can then use?
Data looks like this :
| PO Number | PO Line Number | Approved PO Amount | Requestor |
| 12345 | 1 | 10 | Smith, John |
| 12345 | 2 | 2 | Smith, John |
| 12346 | 1 | 1 | Kelly, Mary |
| 12347 | 1 | 2 | Doe, Jane |
| 12347 | 2 | 5 | Doe, Jane |
Would like to see :
| PO Number | PO Lines | Requestor | PO Total |
| 12345 | 2 | Smith, John | 12 |
| 12346 | 1 | Kelly, Mary | 1 |
| 12347 | 2 | Doe, Jane | 7 |
Any help would be great, as I am new and keen to learn.
Hi,
Please try to create a What If parameter such as below:
It will automatically create a slicer.
Then create a check measure:
Check = IF([PO Total]<SELECTEDVALUE(Parameter[Parameter]),1,0)Apply this measure to the original table visual.
For example, i define a policy that the result only shows the rows which [PO Total] is less than the specified value from slicer.
The result shows:
Here is my test pbix file:
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Please try these two measures:
PO Total = SUM('Table'[Approved PO Amount])PO Lines = COUNTROWS('Table')The result shows:

Create measures
PO Lines = count(table[PO Line Number])
PO Total = sum(table[Approved PO Amount])Rest should automatically group in Table and matrix

Hi,
In your original sample table i can not see any data up to $5000.
But if you want to apply filter to this visual, you can choose the specified field as a slicer, or directly add a filter to Filter Pane.
