Sum column number based on distinct values of other column

Hi,

 

I would like to sum a column excluding duplicate values. I don't want to remove duplicate values form data model.

My table looks like this:

datevalueinv nopayment datepaid
23.09.20225000inv/2/202229.09.20220
22.09.20225000inv/2/202229.09.20220
21.09.20225000inv/2/202229.09.20220
21.09.20226000inv/2/202229.09.20220
20.09.20226000inv/2/202229.09.20220

 

"Value" column and "inv no" column is repeated till the payment date. I would like caluclate sum of values only for distinct "inv no", so the result in this case should be 11000. My visualisations requieres two type of information first one is quite easy i just need sum of all amount of "value" column without filtering, but the second part is more difficult for me. I've already tried using distinct in filter, but result were the same.

 

I do hope you guys have any idea.

 

Thank you and appriciate all your help.

@Chetcork try this measure:

 

Sum = 
SUMX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[InvNo], "@Value", MAX ( Table[Value] ) ), [@Value] )
