Hi Experts,
I have a table with different departments listed as rows and a value for each. I am trying to have dax sum all values by department. I understand sumx can help achieve this result. Any idea how i can use sumx to sum the different departmants?
Thank you

Nanakwame , If you want to have a department in visual, then even a simple sum would do.
Unless you have to do some row level operation, you can avoid using SumX function

Hi Nanakwame ,
Try measure like:
measure = SUMX(VALUES('Table'[departments ]),[total])
If the problem still exists, please provide sample data and expected results so that we can better understand your scenario.
