Sum values only with a threshold based on header level

Hi! I have this kind of data structure    OrderHeader OrderItem Amount A 1 100 A 2 200 B 5 200 A 3 800 C 4 1005   Now I need a DAX measure that only sums the Amo...

    Hi Penguin12 ,

     

    In this case, to reuse this logic in multiple measures in a performatic way, my suggestion is to create a calculated column in the original table to have the total for each header. For this you can use the same logic in the previous reply: 

    NewColumn = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[OrderHeader] )
)​


    Then you can use this column to filter as needed using CALCULATE/FILTER.

    Otherwise, just use the variable below in each measure to calculate the table on the fly (the is no problem with this approach).

    VAR _Table_Total_Header =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        'Table',
        "Header_Total",
            CALCULATE (
                SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ),
                ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[OrderHeader] )
            )
    )

     

     

    Hope this answer solves your problem!

Hi Penguin12 ,

 

I think you use the following measure structure to solve your problem:

VAR _Table_Total_Header =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        'Table',
        "Header_Total",
            CALCULATE (
                SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ),
                ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[OrderHeader] )
            )
    )
RETURN
    SUMX (
        FILTER ( '_Table_Total_Header', [Header_Total] >= 1000 ),
        'Table'[Amount]
    )

 

Hope this answer solves your problem!
