Sum of a column grouped by value in another column

Hello

I'm trying to do a simple summary (simple in Excel i.e. but I can't make Power BI work

If I have the following example table (simplified for this example but the actual data has multiple columns and rows) where I want to add a calculated column, in column D, where I would summarize sales based on the employee.

ABCD
1EmpProdSalesSalesXEmp
2
3Jonesapple100

125

4Blacksmithapple150250
5BlacksmithKiwi100250
6LakeKiwi7575
7JonesDates25125

In Excel, my sum formula (in cell D3) is simple: "SUMIF($A:$A,A3,$C:$C).

How do I recreate this summary based on the value of a column (or add using group by) in Power BI using a measure?

Thank you.

Hi @Claudine ,

 

Try this as a measure:

Sum by Employee =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Sales] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Emp] ) )

@Claudine ,

AS a new column

SalesXEmp = sumx(filter(Table, [Emp]=earlier([Emp])),[Sales])Sales

As a new measure
SalesXEmp = calculate(sum(Table[Sales]),allexcept(Table, Table[Emp]))
