Sum value of column if contain specific text and display in table

Hi All. 

 

I have simple data as follow.  I want to sum up the Visit Amt if the Room Type is "ROOM".

Created this measure, Total VisitTime = CALCULATE(SUM('Table1'[VisitAmt]),FILTER('Table1', Table1'[Room Type]="ROOM"))

 

Acct Num Date Room Type Visit Amt
1 8/1/2022 ROOM                37
2 8/1/2022 ROOM                53
3 8/1/2022 Living                68
4 8/1/2022 ROOM                41
5 8/2/2022 ROOM                61
6 8/2/2022 ROOM                52
7 8/2/2022 Conference                67
8 8/2/2022 Conference                40
9 8/2/2022 ROOM                98
10 8/2/2022 ROOM                73
11 8/3/2022 ROOM                78
12 8/3/2022 Conference                65
13 8/3/2022 Living                54
14 8/3/2022 ROOM                61
15 8/4/2022 ROOM                40
16 8/4/2022 ROOM                78
17 8/4/2022 ROOM                34
18 8/4/2022 ROOM                67
19 8/4/2022 ROOM                58
    Total          1,125
       

 

Ideally should look like this... I'm getting something different when pushing in table or matrix giving the total for listed date.

Hi Tevon,

 

I tried recreating this using your data and my formulas seem to work, although they are no different from yours.
Only thing I can see is some minor differences in your syntax re apostrophes. Try my DAX below:

Room Only = Calculate(Sum(Table1[Visit Amt]),Filter(Table1, Table1[Room Type] = "ROOM"))
Produces the following result:

If still stuck I can either send you my PBIX where I tried this out, or you could send me yours for review?

 

Cheers

Hi @Tevon713 ,

My test result is the same with @MDodds 's. An alternative, you can simply only select ROOM in the visual filter of Room Type column, and just put the VisitAmt column in the visual without a measure.

I attach my sample below for your reference.
