Summarization NOT WORKING

I have a table with values from a SQL Database. I want the columns to Sum the values. I have SUM selected in the Summarization but the sigma does not show up and I can't build visualizations.

Hey, did you checked maybe for this config on the semantic model level? This solved our issue, the origin why it happend was a previously created calculation group.

Hello,

the sigma is also not showing up for me in fabric, on a semantic model. It was there some days ago, but now it is gone. Has anybody any news on this issue?

 

thx.

Hi,

 

You may create calculated column or measure like DAX below.

 

SumTotal_Column = SUM('Table1'[Column2])



SumTotal_Measure = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Column2]), ALL(Table1))

You have to chage the data type to whole number ot integer.

I have a similar report that I copied some queries from where the summarizations are working without a Data Category.

HI @Anonymous ,

 

 

Go to model View and change the Default Summarization.

 

Also, check for the Data Type in Power Query.

No that's not it. I get options for latitude and longitude. I changed both to Whole number and I got an option for a bar code or postal code.
