Sum from another table

Hi there,

 

I have a table relation like below:

1. Location (Loc Code)

2. Item (Item Code)

3. Shipment Planning (Planning No, Loc Code, Item Code, Quantity)

  • Relationship with Location = Many-to-One (Location.Loc Code = ShipmentPlanning.Loc Code)
  • Relationship with Item = Many-to-One (Item.Item Code = ShipmentPlanning.Item Code)

4. Order Lines (Order No, Item Code, Loc Code)

  • Relationship with Location = Many-to-One (Location.Loc Code = OrderLines.Loc Code)
  • Relationship with Item = Many-to-One (Item.Item Code = OrderLines.Item Code)

 

My goal is to show total "Quantity" from "Shipment Planning" for each "Order Line" with the same Item and Location.

Kindly please help 😊

Thanks.

Hi @speedramps  I have see your given example file, and found that the key to get correct result is the selection of "Item No."

 

Previously, I show "Item No." in my visual from my "Order Lines" table, but after I change the source table for "Item No." from Item table, the total is correct automatically.

 

Thanks for your help 😊

@Olwin thank you.

Yes you understand correctly.

 

That is why I provide a diagram of the relationships and highlighted in red which fields you needed to select from which tables to use those relationships correctly.

 

 

For me the joy cones from not just giving a solution but teaching the method.

 

Well done on learning it!

Hi @Olwin ,

To achieve your goal, you need to create a measure to look like this:

TotalShipmentPlanning = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Shipment Planning'[Quantity]),
    FILTER(
        'Shipment Planning',
        'Shipment Planning'[Item] = SELECTEDVALUE('Order Lines'[Item]) &&
        'Shipment Planning'[Location] = SELECTEDVALUE('Order Lines'[Location])
    )
)

@Olwin see the attached solution, in nutshell, you need the following two measures:

 

Planning Qty = SUM ( ShipmentPlanning[Quantity] )

Total Shipment Planning = 
SUMX ( 
    SUMMARIZE (     
        OrderLines,
        'Item'[Items],
        Location[Location],
        "@Planning Qty", [Planning Qty]
    ), 
    [@Planning Qty] 
)
