Hello,
I feel I have been on here too long working this one which seems that it should be way simpler. I have two tables
Table 1
Truck# | Points |
1 | 24 |
1 | 36 |
1 | 30 |
2 | 15 |
2 | 12 |
3 | 60 |
4 | 48 |
4 | 12 |
4 | 10 |
Need table 2 to show Total points column.
Truck# | Total Points |
1 | 90 |
2 | 27 |
3 | 60 |
4 | 70 |
I need this to be a calculated column, and I feel I am close but I cannot get what i need. I use the following DAX for calculated column in table 2: I have a many to one relationship from table 1 to table 2 truck #.
Truck # | Total Points |
1 | 247 |
2 | 247 |
3 | 247 |
4 | 247 |
I have spent few too many hours for something I feel is so simple. Please help! Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
I tried making a calculated column out of this, I got an error that the expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value.
The syntax I gave is to create new table syntax
So, I realize that coffee does have diminishing returns, hahahahaha. Thank you for your patience with me, I got what I needed! Thank you.
Column: (in 'Table')
If you are looking for sum by category type of formula i.e., adding a column to the original table, then you can try this. Create a new column in Table 1 as below.
Measure: (in 'Table')
