Total with a join

[Jensej]

Hello

How can i make a measure with the Total BetragFw only on the fields where Buchungen_KontoNrFIB and Konto_KontoNrFIB is equal?

@Jensej , the formula seems correct, just make sure you select correct column names.

Select is from suggestions made by power bi

Thanks for your help, now ive bumped into next problem..  @amitchandak @Pragati11 

So from my Total measure i wanted to how much sales i had for each day but it gives me the Total amount everywhere. 

I have conntected the salesdate from bi_ertrag with the date table so i was hoping it would work ?

Hi @Jensej ,

Can you try changing your relationship direction to "BOTH" and check if this works?

@Pragati11  Thanks a lot, but i dont understand why i have to do this? It stand i should not use this if i have unique values in one of the tables and in my date tables the dates are unique or not?

Now next problem: 🙂 

If i add a new filter to the visual where i say i just want to see the Totals each day in the first quarter only on the Konto_KontoNrFIB IN (340100,340200) i just see the last day with the Total?

Hi @Jensej ,

The reason why you have make this relationship BOTH is -  You are trying to get a measure value from a different related table. So, when you select a date field from your DATE table, it needs to filter your other table to get the measure value correct.

You can refer following article on why direction of a relationship is important:

@Pragati11  Ok i see, i edited my latest post. Have another Problem 🙂 I really appreciate your help 🙏

Hi @Jensej ,

You can create a DAX as follows:

Total = CALCULATE(SUM(bi_Ertrag[BetragFw]),  FILTER(ALLSELECTED(bi_Ertrag), bi_Ertrag[Konto_KontoNrFIB] = bi_Ertrag[Buchungen_KontoNrFIB]))

If this helps and resolves the issue, appreciate a Kudos and mark it as a Solution! 🙂
