Trying to summarize/sum data in a column on import

[Anonymous]

Hopefully I'm explaning this well, but i have a full listing of journal entry data by line for the calendar year. I'm trying to either create a separate table (or column, i guess) that will sum up all lines for each journal entry for me to put into a visual, so i can have side by side visuals showing how many entries are made by line and how many are made per entry, if that makes sense. I can figure out how to do this in ACL and other programs, but am hoping PowerBi can do this for me.

Hi @Anonymous

If you want to get sum varying amounts for each journal entry, Ihave built a simply data sample:

You could create a measure:

Measure = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[varying amounts]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Journal entry]))

Or use the summarize type of SUM as the below shown.

Hey Dave,

My end goal is to take a listing of journal entries that are currently provided by line, and basically subtotal them to obtain their total value - I.E. if I have 14 line items of journal entry #2503 that are for varying amounts, i'd like to have a report that shows just one line for journal entry #2503 but a total of all of the line amounts. Does that make more sense?

Can you provide and example of what it is you're trying to achieve?
