The code is needed for ABC analysis

Hey,

 

I'm new to the DAX desktop app and I'm having trouble creating the code.

 

I have two tables. I want to add the sum of all orders from the same vendor from the first table to the second table.

 

The supplier is marked as text. (Its name) A supplier has multiple orders, I want to calculate the order amount of the same supplier (from the Orders table) to another table (sum_of_all_orders_from_supplier).

 

I've tried many calculations, but I didn't get any code that would work.

 

So I want to do an ABC analysis of suppliers, so I first need a code that calculates the amounts in euros for each supplier’s total order.

 

Thanks for the help in advance

    Hey Anonymous ,

     

    an approach that should always work is the following:

    Sum Supplier =
VAR vRowSupplier = secondTable[supplier]
RETURN
    CALCULATE(
        SUM( firstTable[order amount] ),
        firstTable[supplier] = vRowSupplier
    )

     

    If you would give more details about the relationship also easier approaches could probably be done.

    In general for ABC analysis check out the following article:

    ABC classification – DAX Patterns

     

    If you need any help please let me know.
    If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍

    Hi Anonymous ,

    You don't need to create sum measure, when add it to table, it will sum automatically:

    If you also want to create a new column ,you could use the following dax :

    sum = SUMX (
    FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[supplier] =Table2[supplier]),
    'Table'[order amount]
)

    Final get:

    And you also could use the following dax to create a new table ,base on base data table:

    Table3 = SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[supplier],"total",sum('Table'[order amount]))

     

    Wish it is helpful for you!

     

     

    Best Regards

    Thank you both 😍 I made three counters with your help and all of them worked fine. You no longer have to decide which counter I will use.
