Sum by column

Hello,

 

I have a column, Vendor Name, and would like to take the sum of this column by each vendor. I am trying to do a formula like

 

Vendor Sum = CALCULATE(SUM('data'[Amount]),'data'[Vendor])

 

I am wanting to do this so I can create a filter on the page to only show Vendors with a balance of 100 or greater.

 

Thanks for your help

Hi @DSmith4 ,

Unfortunately, this might not be as straight forward as you might have thought. My recommendation is to create a DAX table with like this:

SummaryTable = SUMMARIZECOLUMNS('data'[Vendor], "Totals", SUM('data'[Amount]))

This table will be evaluated at refresh/load and is therefor not dynamic! You can create a relationship from SummaryTable[Vendor] to 'data'[Vendor] (1 to many) and filter on the column Totals of the SummaryTable above.

Does that suit your needs? If so, please let me know!

 

Kind regards

Thank you! This has worked.

 

By chance, do you know how to filter the page on a measure?
I have created a new measure and trying to filter the page.

 

Thanks
