Well we're getting closer. Try limiting to just 1 row using this formula:

 

Table =
TOPN(
   1,
   SELECTCOLUMNS(
   FILTER(
      Outbound,
      Outbound[TER_FYTD_USD]
   ),
   "New Column",
   SUM(Outbound[TER_FYTD_USD])
   )
)

this may not work in my other situations, I created a new coloumn using the below

SummarisedAccountsector = SELECTCOLUMNS(Inbound,"Sector",Inbound[AccountSector],"USD",Inbound[TER_FYTD_USD])

But whats happening is, i have only 3 account sector (Technology, Media & entertainment and Telecom)

my main issue is its not grouping the sector and their respetive aggregate sums

 

see the table table below

SectorUSD
Technology400000
Technology400000
Technology400000
media & entertainment400000
media & entertainment400000
media & entertainment400000
telecom700000
telecom700000
telecom700000

 

Expected table

 

SectorUSD
Technology400000
media & entertainment5000000
telecom700000

    Hi,

     

    How have you arrived at the numers in the Expected table - they are difinitely not additions.  Anyways, just drag Sector to the row labels of the Table visual and then write a simple SUM measure

     

    =SUM(Data[USD])

     

    Hope this helps.

    Hi vjnvinod,

     

    1. If you want to put a single value in a table, you could try the formula below.

    Table 3 = {sum(FactSales[SalesQuantity])}

    sum_column_error

    2. You can try the following formula to get the expected table.

    SummarisedAccountsector =
SUMMARIZE (
    Inbound,
    Inbound[AccountSector],
    "USD", SUM ( Inbound[TER_FYTD_USD] )
)

    Best Regards,
