Summing converted amount

Hi there, 

 

I have a local currency, exchange rate and USD measures. Local currency / Exchange rate = USD.

On a year level it should not use the 17.60 as this is an average of the two months. The USD total for 2024 should be 158 221.99. Can someone please advise which function should I use to get to this?

Hi @Elmarie_Kies ,

 

In this case you need to do a different calculation use the following code:

USD = SUMX(SUMMARIZE('Table', 'Calendar'[Year], 'Calendar'[MonthNo]), CALCULATE(DIVIDE(SUM('Table'[Local]), AVERAGE('Table'[Echange Rate]))))

I'm assuming you have a calendar table for the dates:

Don't mind the Exchange rate because using the column directly.
