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.
| Formated Year | Data_type | Total_data |
| Apr-19 | B | 21285 |
| Apr-19 | B | 0 |
| Apr-19 | GB | 909866.69 |
| Apr-19 | KB | 248615.01 |
| Apr-19 | MB | 58876.97 |
| Apr-19 | TB | 39519.41 |
| Aug-19 | B | 73742 |
| Aug-19 | B | 0 |
| Aug-19 | GB | 1147168.81 |
| Aug-19 | KB | 6033.27 |
| Aug-19 | MB | 74900.88 |
| Aug-19 | TB | 28773.93 |
| Dec-19 | B | 73507 |

| Feb-19 | B | 73143 |
| Feb-19 | B | 0 |
| Feb-19 | GB | 370056.91 |
| Feb-19 | KB | 100.2 |
Please suggest.
Thanks,

Solved! Go to Solution.
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:
