Summarize problems

Hello all,

 

I am having again an issue, probably pretty simple.

 

I need the sum of 2 different columns from 2 different tables.

Tried different options, but i won't get the wright solution in my visual.

 

-I have 2 columns from 2 different tables.

Table 1 [Column Distance]

Table 2 [Column Flat Distance]

 

-I Need a new Column named [Total Distance]

So the Sum between Distance + Flat Distance.

 

Now i am, having the formula:

Totale Afstand = calculate(sum(Table 1[Distance])+sum(Table 2[Flat Distance]))
 
But my result looks like a summup of all the numbers of this column Total Distance.
From al the Columns is the Data Type = Whole Number
No summarize
 
Table 1 Table 2 Expected Result now
Distance DIstance Flat
100 25 125 951669
150 5 155 951669
100 75 175 951669
200 100 300 951669
185 20 205 951669
200 50 250 951669
250 75 325 951669

 

 

Do you guys have an idea?

 

 

Thanks,

Hi,

I am not sure how your datamodel looks like, but if you are looking for creating a new table, please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

New Table = 
SUMMARIZE (
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        GENERATE ( Table1, FILTER ( Table2, Table2[ID] = Table1[ID] ) ),
        "@Total Distance", Table1[Distance] + Table2[Distance Flat]
    ),
    Table1[Distance],
    Table2[Distance Flat],
    [@Total Distance]
)

Hi,

Thank you for your message.

I am not sure how to check it without seeing your datamodel, but I see that you put that as a calculated column. My DAX formula is for creating a table, not a column.

Please share your sample pbix file's link, and then I can try to look into it to come up with a solution.

Thanks.

Attach you will find my dummy "Distance"PBIX file, with the same settings and relationship.

In this file your code is working, but the outcome in my visual is still the sum of al values together.

When i change this to "don't summarize" i become below error.
