how to calculate return

Hi, all

 

I wonder why this is error

1EA = CALCULATE(count('Table'[itemlv2_lastlinkconsumerid]), 'Table'[dvc_total] = 1)

 

I want to show the number of devices by Device Type (=n_combination) in a table as shown below.
However, if you generate the measure value in the above equation, there will be an error occurs.
dvc_total is also a measure value.
I would appreciate it if you could let me know how to get it.

Hi  @Anonymous ,

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated column.

total =
var _table=SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Id],'Table'[Dvcgroup],'Table'[n_combination],'Table'[cnt])
return
SUMX(FILTER( _table,[Id]=EARLIER([Id])&&[n_combination]=EARLIER([n_combination])),[cnt])

2. Result:

@Anonymous You cannot use a measure directly in the filter parameter of CALCULATE, you have to wrap it with FILTER like:

1EA = CALCULATE(count('Table'[itemlv2_lastlinkconsumerid]), FILTER('Table','Table'[dvc_total] = 1))

how to calculate total?
I tried like

Total =
SUMX(
FILTER('Table',
[itemlv2_lastlinkconsumerid] =earlier([itemlv2_lastlinkconsumerid]) &&
[n_combination] =earlier([n_combination]) ),
[cnt])
but result is 9..
