  • Hi Surya1,

     

    In your scenario, you can use SUMMARIZE() function to create a new calculated table. Please refer to following sample:

     

    Table-2 =
    SUMMARIZE ( 'Table-1', 'Table-1'[col a], "col B", SUM ( 'Table-1'[col b] ) )

     

    Thanks,

    Do you absolutely need to do this through DAX? The query editor is very easy to use. You can get the same results by selecting 

     

    Edit Queries -> right click on your table and select Duplicate -> Go to the newly duplicated table and left click on col a and select Group By -> Group by col a and select Sum under Operation

     

    This will give you the results that you want. If you have to do it through DAX via a calculated table, I can provide instructions for that as well, just let me know.

        You will select New Table -> The formula will be the following:

        col a = DISTINCT(Table1[col a])

        You will then go to the Relationships tab and form a relationship between the col a of both tables.

         

        Then return to the new table and select New Column -> The formula will be:

        Col b := CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[col b]))

         Where Table1 is the original table name.
