I have been working on this for an hour. Yes, I am new to Power BI. I can't figure out how to get a total for a specific date, when we may run different product codes with different case weight allocated to that product code. I can get the slicers to filter by individual product codes, and it will give me a total for that particular code. I run into an issue when trying to see the total for the entire day, when we ran multiple products with different finished weight. I am using:
Solved! Go to Solution.
| Product Code | Case Count | Case Weight |
97418 | 100 | 18 |
| 97457 | 300 | 3 |
| 97493 | 100 | 4.5 |
I have set up a relationship with the two tables. So it is looking for Product Code and the Case weight for that code. I am trying to get a total weight without having to select each code using a slicer, then add the weights together to get a total. I am trying to get it to use the slicer by date, and give a total for that date. Right now it is giving me an average total weight when i only select date, based on the formula I have right now. Explination: Slicer date selected 3/2. Total weight I want to see should be: 3,150lbs. The weight I am seeing: 370.5lbs. because it is taking the average of the 3 codes case weight.
Hope this helps:
