creating an aggregated table
- 6 years ago
At least two ways to do this.
1. Recommended Way - do it in Power Query. Group By multiple columns (ID, Customer, and Region) and do a sum on the Revenue column. This will make it so you only have to load one table into your data model.
2. Do it with a DAX table. With this approach, you'll end up with two tables in your data model. You can ignore the primary table in your analysis, but it will take up filespace. Click on New Table on the Modelling tab and enter this expression
SummaryTable = ADDCOLUMNS(SUMMARIZE(Table, Table[ID], Table[Customer], Table[Region]), "Revenue", Calculate(Sum(Table[Revenue]))) //replace Table with your actual table name
If this works for you, please mark it as the solution. Kudos are appreciated too. Please let me know if not.

Hi Anonymous,
you can try this:
Table2 = SUMMARIZECOLUMNS ( Table1[Customer ID],Table1[Customer],Table1[Region],"Total Revenue", SUMX ( Table1,Table1[Revenue]))It could be more efficient than using SUMMARIZE according to sqlbi:

Hi Anonymous ,
You may create calculated table like DAX below.
Desired Table = SUMMARIZE(Table1,Table1[Customer ID],Table1[Customer],Table1[Region],"Total Revenue", SUM(Table1[Revenue]))Best Regards,
