Hi all

I have this data and I want to sum "Total Qty Per Request" based on the "Material Name." So I want the sum of the "Total Qty Per Request" for "Bot Bev G5," "Dexron LS Gear Oil 75W-90," etc. How would I be able to make a measure for this?

I have the same question about how to sum a column based on another column and cannot get a solution using the result provided. The "EARLIER" command isn't understood in my expression. Got any tips?

HI @aggarwal25,

You can take a look at below formulas if it suitable for your requirement:

Calculate column:

Sum Group = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Translated Ampount]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Revenue Catagory]=EARLIER('Table'[Revenue Catagory])) )

Measure:

Sum group 2 =
var catagory=LASTNONBLANK('Table'[Revenue Catagory],[Revenue Catagory])
return
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Translated Ampount]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Revenue Catagory]=catagory))

@Hi @aggarwal2,

Is there a customer in this table or is there a related table that contains customer? If this is the case you can easily drag and drop customer, translated amount an revenue category onto the Power BI desktop canvas and it works. Also you could create several measures that sum the different revenue categories like:

Consulting Revenue =
SUMX (
    FILTER ( Table1; Table1[Revenue Category] = "Consulting" );
    Table1[Translated Amount]
)

If there is no customer table related to this table or no customer in this table, how would you assign a part of the Translated amount to a customer? So what is the distribution key?
