Hi,
I have a ds like this:
person | sales | cost |
a | 4 | 5 |
a | 6 | 4 |
a | 2 | 3 |
a | 6 | 5 |
if I make a field paramet
er and I make a table, I can't aggregate.
What I need is something like this: how can I do? I'm using columns not measures
person | sales OR cost |
a | 18 OR 17 |
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Giada90 , You have to create measures for Sum of Sales and Sum of Cost. The field parameters on a column will be used for group by ( not summarize) in a visual
Hello,@amitchandak ,thanks for your concern about this issue.
Your answer is excellent!And I would like to share some additional solutions below.
Hi,@Giada90 .I am glad to help you.
You could try to change the vsiual name:
As @amitchandak suggested,you could also try to create measure:
Creating strings for splicing functions of measure: sales OR cost
sales OR cost = FORMAT([M_cost],"General Number")&" OR "&FORMAT([M_sales],"General Number")
M_cost = SUM('Table'[cost])
M_sales = SUM('Table'[sales])
I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.
Best Regards,
Carson Jian,
