Hi,

 

I am looking for the DAX function to calculate the column to make unique to get correct sum figure while preparing the visualization.

 

I need to prepare based on the the month total_data summation. Before that i need to convert the data into GB all of Data Type. Please suggest how to convert the data using the DAX , so that we can sum the Total_Data.

Try creating new column like

GB Value =
SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        [Data_type] = "MB", Total_data/1024,
        [Data_type] = "KB", Total_data/1024/1024,
        [Data_type] = "TB",Total_data*1024,
        Total_data
    )

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

Based on my description, you may create a calculated column as follows.

 

GB column 1 = 
IF(
    'Table'[Date_type] = "B",
    'Table'[Total_data]/1024/1024/1024,
    IF(
        'Table'[Date_type] = "KB",
        'Table'[Total_data]/1024/1024,
        IF(
            'Table'[Date_type] = "MB",
            'Table'[Total_data]/1024,
            IF(
                'Table'[Date_type] = "GB",
                'Table'[Total_data],
                IF(
                    'Table'[Date_type] = "TB",
                    'Table'[Total_data]*1024
                )
            )
        )
    )
)

OR

GB column 2 = 
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    'Table'[Date_type] = "B",'Table'[Total_data]/1024/1024/1024,
    'Table'[Date_type] = "KB",'Table'[Total_data]/1024/1024,
    'Table'[Date_type] = "MB",'Table'[Total_data]/1024,
    'Table'[Date_type] = "GB",'Table'[Total_data],
    'Table'[Date_type] = "TB",'Table'[Total_data]*1024,
    BLANK()
)

 

 

Then you could create a measure as below.

 

SumTotalData = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Table'[GB column 1]),
    FILTER(
        ALLSELECTED('Table'),
        'Table'[Formated Year] = MAX('Table'[Formated Year])
    )
)

 

 

Result:
