We need to calculate the total as per Category,Region and Date column and i need to add the same back as calulated column or measure back in the same dataset .How can i acheive it the Data set is like below format-
This data is further used further to create measures for diaplying in the line chart.and we have slicer named
Region | Category | Value | Date |
Asia | Continous | 100 | 2023-04 |
Asia | Continous | 200 | 2023-05 |
Asia | Continous | 300 | 2023-06 |
Asia | Discrete | 900 | 2023-04 |
Asia | Discrete | 1000 | 2023-05 |
Asia | Discrete | 1000 | 2023-06 |
Asia | Sparge | 20 | 2023-04 |
Asia | Sparge | 30 | 2023-05 |
APAC | Discrete | 1000 | 2023-04 |
APAC | Discrete | 2000 | 2023-05 |
APAC | Discrete | 3000 | 2023-06 |
APAC | Sparge | 50 | 2023-05 |
APAC | Sparge | 100 | 2023-06 |
APAC | Continous | 2000 | 2023-05 |
APAC | Continous | 3000 | 2023-06 |
Total should get appended in the dataset with the sum of values for Region-ASIA and sum of all the categories-Continous,Discrete,cyanide
Desired output-
Region | Category | Value | Date |
Asia | Continous | 100 | 2023-04 |
Asia | Continous | 200 | 2023-05 |
Asia | Continous | 300 | 2023-06 |
Asia | Discrete | 900 | 2023-04 |
Asia | Discrete | 1000 | 2023-05 |
Asia | Discrete | 1000 | 2023-06 |
Asia | Sparge | 20 | 2023-04 |
Asia | Sparge | 30 | 2023-05 |
ASIA | Total | 1020 | 2023-04 |
ASIA | Total | 1230 | 2023-05 |
ASIA | Total | 1300 | 2023-06 |

Your solutions is so great @danextian , allow me to add some detailed steps.
Hi, @Anonymous
First, you need to group your raw dataset in Power Query by following these steps:
1.Copy the original table
Select Group by:
Click Close and Apply:
Click on the new table and enter the following DAX expression:
Table 2 =
VAR _table1 = SUMMARIZE('Table (2)','Table (2)'[Region],'Table (2)'[Total],'Table (2)'[Date],"category","Total"
)
RETURN UNION('Table',SUMMARIZE(_table1,'Table (2)'[Region],[category],'Table (2)'[Total],'Table (2)'[Date]))
Here are the results:
I've provided the PBIX file used this time below.

@Anonymous - It worked perfectly..Thanks for the clear solution 🙂
Hi @Anonymous ,
In DAX you can,
CALCULATE (
SUM ( tbl[value] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( tbl, tbl[region], tbl[category], tbl[date] )
)
but if the summary needs to be appended to another query, use the Group by feature in M
Thank you for the solution
